4. Plus, they'd be ready for the "rapture" if it happened.
I am sure there will be a lot of those types there.

12. Here is the real list.
This is what is banned at the "Bush inauguration". The truth.

Oh yes, and Democrats with a spine and back bone. They won't be within one hundred mile of the "Bush inauguration".

13. no prohibition on drugs?
But signs? I guess that footage from 2000 with all those anti-Bush messages was too scary.

I wonder if it is unconstitutional to forbid signs on paper or cloth.

15. They left out ballistic missiles
Also they left out radioactive waste, and biological organisms. Imagine
a truly dedicated person could simply walk about spreading a deadly
highly contageous biological weapon from the US arsenal and kill the
lot of them.

Gosh, what else did they leave out, cameras, video cameras, large
chunks of stone, terror tomatos, terror potatos, terror apples and
terror rotten avocados.

16. I guess eggs and rotting fruit are okay?
Boiling the eggs helps pass them off as food, but they become more dangerous that way, though.

17. probably biocultures
Likely they'll ban all fruit and vegetables as terror fruit.

Funnily, probably the worst weapon you can bring is the "flu" as surely
someone will catch it there and die from it.
