2012 Liberal Jackass Quotes of the Year - #14

Department of Homeland Security

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized thousands of hair dryers recently that were determined to constitute a 'substantial product hazard' under U.S. law, for failing to have adequate immersion protection...the potentially dangerous hair dryers were identified through a nationwide targeting operation."

- 9,768 hair dryers in Los Angeles and 3,614 in Miami, because they "lacked shock protection for consumers."

I know I feel much safer with these 13,382 deadly items off the street.  I'm sure this was a top priority for Janet's Dragnets...Forget Jihadis and illegal aliens, America is much safer due to the dilligent efforts of the 'Hair Dryer Police.'

Warning:  Don't let the U.S. Gov't Catch You Without Proper "Shock Protection."

"The concerted targeting efforts of CTAC (Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center) and the vigilence of CBP officers at our ports of entry will help ensure that products like hair dryers are safe for consumers." - Allen Gina (CBP)

Incredibly, this very week the DHS/CBP has made another fantastic bust.  This time they caught 35,000 'dangerous terrorists'; "dressed as snowmen, gingerbread men, penguins and reindeer." - Adolfo Flores

Oh my!

I couldn't make this stuff up...Luckily I don't have to because 'the truth truly is stranger than fiction.'
