We’ve been tracking Twitter’s many great travel tweets for a few months now, and this weekend’s attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight, and the resulting imposition of new, more stringent security protocols for air travelers, has seen the creation of some fine TSA-related tweeting. Here are a few of our favorites:

New TSA regulation requires passengers must hold breath for the final hour of flight while humming “kumbaya”

@badbanana
I sure hope these incidents don’t hold up my wire transfer from Nigeria.

@petrillic
“TSA - Protecting you from yesterday, tomorrow.” #tsaslogans

@wilw
It’s only a matter of time before the TSA decides that passengers simply will not be permitted to board airplanes. You know, for safety.

@AlisonSWellner
I’m personally looking forward to spending the last hour of a flight glaring suspiciously at my fellow passengers

@RayLevesque
To better select airline passengers for secondary screening, TSA agents will now be trained in the use of Magic 8-Ball.
