Members RadioSilence Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 Amazon.com Playmobil Security Check Point some customer reviews: Thank you Playmobil for allowing me to teach my 5-year old the importance of recognizing what a failing bureaucracy in a ever growing fascist state looks like. Sometimes it's a hard lesson for kids to learn because not all pigs carry billy clubs and wear body armor. I applaud the people who created this toy for finally being hip to our changing times. Little children need to be aware that not all smiling faces and uniforms are friendly. I noticed that my child is now more interested in current events. Just the other day he asked me why we had to forfeit so much of our liberties and personal freedoms and I had to answer "well, it's because the terrorists have already won". Yes, they have won. I also highly recommend the Playmobil "farm fencing" so you can take your escorted airline passenger away and fence him behind bars as if he were in Guantanamo Bay. 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). oh, and "Customers who viewed this item also viewed Playmobil Police Checkpoint" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FuzzShifter Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think I've just boycotted Playmobil toys. What a shame, with three pre-schoolers, they could have made a couple of bucks.... By sticking to toys that children should be playing with.

Members pugsley Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 This was my favourite review: At first it looked as though my Playmobil terrorist cell was going have trouble getting through this security system - no naked flames, sharp objects, guns or bombs. Then I bought the Tobacco Lobbyist upgrade pack which allowed cigarette lighters to be carried through so they simply torched the plane instead. Hours of fun for all the family. I find it really hard to believe this is a real toy. We've come a long way from action man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to make a muslim looking man and a special interrogation room. Racial Profiling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pedalboard Posted January 19, 2009 Members Share Posted January 19, 2009 why isn't the woman with the metal detector wand overweight? Every time I see someone working in that capacity at the airport, they're overweight and wearing skintight clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racial Profiling I'd love to joke about it, but... Playmobil isn't exactly known for making "collector" pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
