William Shatner Depantsed by TSA

Editorial Cartoon: William Shatner Pants TSA

The Cartoonist Studio Editorial Cartoon Contest continues and I made it to week NINE!!  So I am almost done asking for votes.  Thanks to all for voting.  Click the image above or here to go to the voting.  You should do a search of “Bearman” and my cartoon will come up front and center and then vote.  Again, as long as I stay in the contest, there will be two editorial cartoons a week to vote on – Mondays and Thursdays.   Oh and you can vote multiple times in each round if you want (resets every six hours) until EOD Tuesday.

____________________________________________________________________

A little humor for the week prompted today’s editorial cartoon.  It seems actor William Shatner (Star Trek, TJ Hooker, Priceline Negotiator) has a little embarrassing moment with TSA agents at LAX.   He was going on an international flight out of LAX and as he relates it, he didn’t want to be wearing anything binding…so he went to the airport in loose clothing and NO UNDERWEAR.  Shatner, who had a hip replacement always sets the metal detector off and has to have extra security pat downs.  Well it seems an inexperienced TSA agent got the “short stick” and was a little aggressive in his work causing Shatner’s proton torpedo to be visible to everyone in airport security.

See the video of Shatner relaying the experience to Craig Ferguson.

        Your TSA agent looks like he is enjoying his job far too much.

    Did the TSA guy say “I’m giving it all she’s got Captain”
    Mr Shatner should’ve kept his shields energised.

      Thanks Starla and always appreciate the vote.

    That is too funny. I only wish someone got that on video. It couldn’t have happened to a more funny guy.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      His story in the video cracked me up

      1. Rent Textbooks Avatar

        Me Too. I also read that in some states it is actually legal to go threw the line nude, because the intent isn’t to arouse someone. Isn’t that weird.?

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Intent might not be there but in practice….

          I think a guy could get away with it because women don’t tend to be aroused by naked men..haha

    SPAAAAAAAWWWWWCK!

      He was no help as usual

    I’m not a Shatner fan so this is even funnier. Couldn’t happen to a better person. And…I wouldn’t have wanted to see this either.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Oh you would have haha

    The TSA agent should never have crossed that final frontier!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Someone needs to throw in a TJHooker joke

  11. Chris K Avatar

    I heard about that. Cool and topical comic! Shatner is always an entertaining interview.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Try to keep abreast of the butt of all jokes.

    thanks I didn’t hear about this. Wow the whole enterprise right there hovering.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I am better than the Friggen Loon for news of the weird..haha

      1. Friggin Loon Avatar

        Did it happen in OHIO? NO!!! 😉

        1. Bearman Avatar

          You have that area covered…haha

  14. Japanese Ghost Avatar

    William, can I call him that, would beat the crud out of the TSA personal for going there. I would never wish this on any celebrity except Alec Baldwin.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I could wish it on a few actresses I guess. But only if I was in attendance.

      1. Japanese Ghost Avatar

        Sounds like a movie I found in the DVD player of my landlord’s deceased husband. I’m a dude and thought the cover of the CD was disturbing.

        Me: Dear God, PORN!

        Wife: Are you sure?

        Me: Trust me, I know my por… uh, yes. Yes it is hunny. :-/

    Where’s Spock and his Vulcan nerve pinch when you really need him?

      Probably that guy in the booth telling TSA to frisk Shatner

      He had to one up Captain Underpants

    Shatner is such an incredible self-promoter, no matter what the situation.

    And if you don’t win after all the votes we’ve given you, we’re going to want restitution!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I’ll need a rest too.

    Hilarious! Super funny panel.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thank you sir!

    Seems like TJ Hooker needs a better hook-up at the airport.

    You did a great job of capturing the smugness on Kirk’s grill. This was one of your best caricatures so far.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Really? Cuz I think it is so so. I struggled with this caricature. You would think he had a bunch to work with but he doesn’t

      1. George Avatar

        But it’s the simplicity of the design that captures it so well. Shatner looks so funny in real-life, but he’s actually a very plain-faced parson. You did good to take the subtle nuances in his demeanor and bring them to cartoon life.

        So pat yourself on the back (or any of the other places you prefer when you’ve done well). 🙂

        1. Bearman Avatar

          Thanks…I don’t have to do any patting anymore….that is the reason I got married.

      Don’t say “shat” when we are talking about a naked man.

    Was this negotiated through Priceline?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Probably Orbitz PR paid off the TSA

  26. jb Avatar

    Now you might feel a little pinch and then a tickle. lol

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Not as good as a little slap and tickle haha

  27. jynksie Avatar

    I always tell the TSA if I get a prostate massage during my pat down, theres a tip and maybe even a date afterwards! [you’d think I was kidding]…if I get a feel me up and a tickle, its true love!

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Honest story. About 10 years ago I was flying somewhere and they made me unbuckle my belt and hold it out. The guy ran the wand around my midsection and then actually put his fingers down the front of my waist band. I asked he was going to buy me dinner. He didn’t like that.

  28. Nef Avatar

    I knew the death of the Priceline Negotiator was a cover up… There he was, all lively, trying to flee the country…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      They killed off the Negotiator? I missed that episode.
