The Technician Will See You Now

Jay Leno may have put his finger on how the government plans to reduce health care costs.

The government issued a statement this week saying that most people aren’t complaining about the full body scans. The government always says that. Every time there’s another intrusion into our privacy, they always say “Most people aren’t complaining.” Of course most people aren’t complaining. Do you know what happens when you complain to airport security? You get a colonoscopy and wind up on the terrorist watch list!

Free colonoscopies (prostate exams in the Senate version) and full-body scans whenever we fly. That's how we bend the cost curves down.
