Punk the T.S.A.
Filed under: Art, Cool Ish
I’m all for the safety of myself and other passengers when flying, but I’m a graffiti artist at heart and I approve this project.
“T.S.A. Communication is a project that alters the airport security experience and allows the government to learn more about you then just what’s in your backpack. Thin 8.5 x 11 inch laser-cut sheets of stainless steel comfortably fit in your carry on bag, simultaneously obscuring the contents you don’t want the TSA to see while highlighting ideas you do want them to see. Change your role as air traveler from passive to active.”

So, has anyone actually tried this? I am curious about TSA’s response.
After reading the website I think not. Reads more like a proposal for grant money. I’d love to see their reaction too. The only thing they could realistically do is take you aside and search your bag. And if the metal sheets didn’t have sharp edges I can’t see why they would have the right to take it from you. I’m going to follow this one for sure.
