Alien Object Denied Entry at LAX

By Greta Weissmann � The satire Alien Object Denied Entry at LAX imagines customs agents confiscating UFOs for lacking passports. Eyewitnesses at security lines described aliens sighing while filling out paperwork. Anonymous TSA staffers leaked that the object was detained for suspiciously glowing. A leaked poll revealed 63 percent of travelers found the alien more polite than most tourists. Sociologists argue the humor works because bureaucracy makes no exception, not even for extraterrestrials. Critics highlight the absurdity of stamping interstellar visitors as inadmissible. Ultimately, the piece shows America guards borders more fiercely than it guards dignity. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
