*obligatory ‘don’t tase me, bro’ comment*
Tazing a squirrel!?
I see you’re familiar with TSA goons…
@ Felipe 058:
That’s what I’m thinking, overreacting much?
But from what I heard from various news about TSAs this could be a possibility.
Poor lil’ girl have to go on her knees too?
*remember reading news about TSA’s terror lists that includes children*
Oh yeah this could possibly happen too .
sigh…
Oh, I could just see the follow up report now.
“During luggage search of suspected terrorist family a ravenous animal was found that proceeded to attack and ensue terror upon the civilians nearby.”
*Man reads report*: Raveno…. are you kidding me!? It was a squirrel!
If anything you where the one who…
TSA Officer: SAVED EVERYONE FROM THE TERROR SQUIRREL.
*Man*: ……With your tazer?
TSA Officer: YES.
God Bless America.
@Felipe 058 – a squirrel is a biologic weapon. Can cause serious deflorestation, eating one seed at a time.
OH MY GOD YOU DONT TAZE A SQUIRREL
I hate that cop forever now
(sarcasm mode here) Well, of course he’s going to try and taze the squirrel. It bit him. He’s trying to avoid a series of rabies shots. Only way is to get the squirrel tested. Unfortunately, they need to test the brain (kill the squirrel). So, if he fries it now, no difference.
Would you rather he open fire with a handgun? I know, I know, don’t get the author/artist ideas.
He has pretty good aim if he can get that close to shooting the squirrel
Aww poor Hazel, things just aren’t going her way.
@ Silver Greywolf:
Well, at least she got quite an electrifying adventure right?
Did you expect anything LESS than a tasing? She is a terror squirrel, after all!
what i find appalling is the way the kid is being treated in panel 1!
I heard that the TSA was bad, but dude…..
This is REALLY exaggerating the whole “evil TSA” thing.
@ Silver Greywolf:
Unfortunately, it looks like some things ARE going her way. Bzzt bzzt!
I feel kind of sorry for Justin and his family. I don’t think they really deserve this.
Oh, Mr. TSA Officer…the irony of upholding security by firing a taser into a crowd of infants and the elderly…
love the expressions in panel 3!
…I hope that Hazel sidesteps, because the second taser probe’s right over her.
I’ll be the no-fun-at-all person who points out that stopping exotic species from entering the country is something that is SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT AIRPORTS. As just one example of why, the invasive exotic insect from Asia called the emerald ash borer is now in the process of killing all the ash trees in North America. The borer has already cost billions of dollars in damage and will cost billions more, and the only reason North American ash species won’t become extinct is because field scientists are now collecting wild ash seeds as quickly as possible, before the borer reaches them, for frozen storage. (And paying for that is part of the cost of the borer.) Preventing exotic species from entering North America is a a VERY GOOD thing, and I only wish we were doing a much better job of it.
Well, maybe not THAT bad, but TSA are still jackasses nonetheless. Really, children on their terror list? They don’t have minds of their own, just follow they’re told or what’s in the data base…
@ EvilJackCarver:
I think you have to get hit by both probes for it to do any harm.
Tazer would probably kill something the size of a squirrel! Poor, terrified squirrel. This kinda fear in the mother probably can’t be good for the baby either.
@ Lax:
A friend of mine is a lead instructor for the TSA. She was amazed to discover that -many- of them have never seen a round of live ammunition. Her husband made up several dummy rounds of different types for her to show to her classes.
That first panel looks like a hostage situation in the middle east
They aren’t that bad. I fly frequently, and most of them are decent people. There are pricks who are there for the power trip.
Odd, they all shaved their heads like this goon.
Okay, I’ll be a(nother) prick here and say the whole children thing, while a bit extreme in some cases, is not entirely unwarranted. There have been reported cases of attempted terrorist attacks using children of all things as the medium. All they have to do is strap a bomb to the kid, tell them if they don’t listen they’ll kill mommy or daddy, and send them onto the plane. There’s not a whole lot a kid can do to alert the authorities simply because they don’t have enough world exposure to now how, and they’re essentially helpless. It’s not that they fear 8-year old religious diehards, they fear innocent 8-year olds being used by religious diehards.
As for the TSA-aimed rage, I honestly don’t see the issue. I fly all the time, and I’ve never once been patted down or “molested” as many claim, probably because I just roll with the procedures, don’t make a fuss, and accept it as a fact of air travel. In fact, most people I’ve seen in airports do the exact same; unfortunately it’s the moronic toads who fly off the deep end over it that get all the publicity.
Technical question on a detail: it’s possible to shot with a taser with both indexes when one is hurted? Oo
Also, for Tazer in France, it’s only for policemen or military equivalent (the “gendarmes”) with a restriced permission and with a camera to avoid risks of abuses.

and the catastrophy just continues. At that point, though, this attitude from that cop don’t surprise me anymore. Once stupid, always will be.
Shooting at a squirrel…and as if it weren’t stupid enough, despite of people in the fireline.
I could SO see this happen in real-live! Including 98.2% of the rest of the scenario.
But the picture of the goon with the, I think it’s a MP5, and the boy wearing a… umm… a bag(?) on his head is pretty extreme. Good parody though.
Kinda reminds me of Guantanamo…(Is it written that way?)
And I really, really don’t like the way that dog is looking at the girl o.O’
and the catastrophy just continues. At that point, though, this attitude from that cop don’t surprise me anymore. Once stupid, always will be.@ Unknownman:
Still, though, I’m amazed at how stupid this cop can be: in order to shoot a poor squirrel, he’s going to do it even if he must shot other things on the way; like the baby that was shown in the last case. *sarcasm*What a responsible officer we have here, good to go… on an asylum
Hey You With the Face wrote:
The problem is the children in question is not children of the terrorist or abducted by one, they have same name or almost the same name with terror suspects, so they were detained not because they have bombs strapped to their bodies but the crime of having the same name with terrorists.
I even read about a toddler being detained in an airport because of that.
Things are completely different from when I visit US in the mid 90s.
TSA= Terror Squirrels Attack!
oh come on! who in their right mind tries to tazer a squirrel… besides me… must be a european thing. lol.
@ Spartan-029:
They’re in Chicago airport, not Paris airport…
Mission Imposable IV
The Critter Escape!
Now on DVD.
Am I the only one who thinks that if he immediately after the squirrel he might have had more luck?
Are they TSA or the Overreaction Team? XD
What is more unfortunate is that the TSA is just as incompetent as before. I know this for a fact.
I took a rag soak in nritrates and dissolved hexamine right through customs and here I am typing away at home… sucks don’t it!
To point this out – in the first panel he is wielding what looks like a Thompson SMG with box ammunition type, but is definately not an MP5.
http://www.svmilitaria.com/images/120825a.JPG vs http://images.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/887/1656887_100621155426_SRC_MP5_1.jpg
Granted, it seems the trigger seems to be is missing (and the cop is holding it by the ammo box, whatever gun was originally meant to be drawn) – but the authenticity of the gunmanship isn’t really what sells this comic is it? Or this could be on the TSA having outdate/non functional equipment as the Thompson SMG was used in WW2 and this model is completely not capable of working. No idea.
“Airport security–the guys who couldn’t make it as real cops!”.
“No situation is so bad a cop can’t make it worse.”
“All cops have a ‘tell’ for when they’re lying–their lips are moving.”
And I’ll be the person who tell you that the reason foreigner species enter in your country is because this idiots behave like that. In any other country the job is done better because the people are not shoting the species but send it them back home. What was suppose to happen is that the poor family would have lost all his lugage. The best way to do a job without working is spreading the fear of an attack, all the money spent in incompetent security, this idiots only have to put a show once in a while.
90% of the work is done by 10% of the people, thats why I dont trust the authorities. Ofcourse Im as lazy as them ( i can smell their laziness)

@ Chris M: Shouldn’t it be “Ne pas tirez sur un Pistolet à impulsion sur moi, salop !” ?
(Braces for an onslaught of Frenchmen)
Well well well, that cop is surely going to get a call from RSPCA/PETA very, very soon…
I think it’s funny that there’s a squirrel running through the last panel on two legs with her hands over her head.
“Momma look that squirrel knows how to duck and cover!”
I don’t think that guy wants anyone to find out that he got his ass kicked by a squirrel. I’m just sayin’
Okay how much of this is exaggeration? Cuz I think they’re overreacting the situation just a LITTLE BIT! XD
*Not gonna make a taser comment, sorry.*
I like how the dog is too busy terrorizing the little girl to find the squirrel.
I don’t know. It seems to me that people are taking this comic waaayyy too seriously (or at least this storyline arch). I doubt that the author really thinks that this is how the TSA opperates and of course things are being blown out of perportion. It’s done for comidic effect. Personally I suggest people relax abit and stop trying to read too much into it.
