Airport security has never been so much fun [update 1]

As two Joystiq editors and one writer currently fly over the Pacific to the land of the rising sun for TGS, now is good a time as any to review airport security. With the recent phallus improving device incident causing a bomb scare at O'Hare airport, we should all simulate the experience of what the TSA does every day by playing Airport Security.The Flash-based game is designed to help you keep up with the latest changes in airport security. The action is intense and a great satire on our modern life. Can you follow the spontaneous policy changes that will make random items like toothpaste or pressurized cheese not safe for flight?

Sorry Joystiq, but Flash and Shockwave are as much the same thing as Macs and PCs. That game is not, as you state, a Shockwave game, but rather a Flash. Try right clicking on it and in the menu you will see it says "Flash Player..." yadda yadda. Yes, yes, it IS on shockwave.com, but with how many programmers prefer Flash over Director (Shockwave), it is no wonder Shockwave.com has primarily flash content.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't even HAVE shockwave installed. I don't. You can check here:

The game is fun for the first few runs, however it gets annoying when they keep updating the prohibited item list when you're in the processing of screening, especially when you can't add back something you've just removed.

I agree Etheo. Especially frustrating is when something changes JUST as your are clicking "Proceed". Grr.
