The TSA has announced a plan to have its airport operatives screen the mass of travelers by looking for specific body language signs, thereby deterring would be terrorists from climbing about our airplanes and blowing them up. Body language is fine, but has it ever worked? I don’t think so.

Us harried men just have to guess

The body language that means yes

Or maybe means quite something else instead

It could mean no, it could mean may

It could mean she don’t wanna play

It could mean Buster you should go drop dead

A woman’s body was not meant

To indicate her true intent

So body language is a wasted art

You’ll never know just what she means

By how she blinks or how she leans

At least not ‘til you say death do us part
