TSA Rules Change good for Bush Approval?

We've all seen it in the recent past -- and many of us have commented snarkily on it: As Bush's ratings continue to plunge new reports of chatter, terror cells, and homeland targets suspiciously surface, leading to.... nothing.

So why is TSA relaxing the rules now for the possession of sharp objects in carry-ons on planes? A little bit more after the jump.

These changes -- the ability to include scissors and small tools like pliers and screwdrivers -- takes effect three days before Christmas; the height of US air travel and a Christian retail <snark> holiday.

I hate wearing the tin foil hat though I don't have any reason to not believe that this administration would resort to murder in an attempt to alleviate its current condition.

How wrong am I?
