Key and Peele "Al Qaeda Meeting"

We all know and love Key and Peele. They're master satirists, without a doubt.

My analysis is the "Al Qaeda Meeting." See it with this link. Here, they're kinda killing two birds with one stone-- Al Qaeda and, more clearly, the great & mighty Transportation Security Agency of the United States of America. The setting: Osama Bin Laden's cave, 13 years after 9-11. Bin Laden wants to know why nothing has happened in that time. The others in the meeting all say that it's the "prophetic and mighty T.. S.. A!" and then go into detail all the ways that they have curtailed their further slaughter. Restricting 5 inch blades (sounds like a good plan,) using a laptop that blows up when you take it out of the case (they make you do that in screening,) 3.6 ounces of liquid, and a large toothpaste bottle, among other things. Quite simple satire here but it's also poking fun at Al Qaeda-- they're saying "Ha! The TSA just does this and you still haven't done anything."
