It all began innocently enough mocking the TSA's latest regulations regarding snow globes and monkeys (including the line that the TSOs are trained to not touch your monkey without permission...)

The train pictured on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration, Railroad Security page...
Is a German InterCity Express high speed train. While they do travel at 250km, I do believe there's a gap of about 10,000 kilometers between where their tracks stop and the TSA's jurisdiction begins...
