Here's an entertaining post from The Cranky Flier about the Playmobil Security Check Point toy. Here are just a few of the highlights from the entertaining product reviews:"I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My five-year old son pointed out that the passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up."
"I especially appreciated the enclosed signed photo of Michael Chertoff and his letter explaining how necessary it is to start educating today's youth early with toys like these, especially as their elders just don't seem to be taking the whole thing seriously."
"I want to thank Playmobil for adding Item 11 to 'How To Tell if Your Country is Turning Fascist.' Now we can add 'pro-authoritarian propaganda showing up as children's toys' to the list. I'm sure 1930s Germany had Nazi propaganda bombarding children as well, right from birth."
"After a few hours my son asked me why our society was so keen on infringing on the civil liberties of its citizens in the name of safety and security. Like all the other five-year olds whose parents purchased this product, he is precocious and wise beyond his years."
