Embrace The Fear, Tiny Citizen

This leaves me almost speechless.  Fortunately, the Amazon commenters said it all:

I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 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. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I've heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I'll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).

Personally, I'm holding out for the Lego Don't Tase Me, Bro' Town Hall Meeting set, with realistic spittle action and Reactionary Police Prudence Manual.

That is the most freakin' retarded thing I have ever seen in my life. Makes me sad.

So, does the Playmobil Security Check Point come with its own 3 ounce bottles for liquids, or do the plastic passengers have to be sure to bring their own?

Did they bother to check the passenger's id?
