Here's an open thread for discussing the awesome new TSA in-flight security restrictions that will surely protect us all from future pantsbombers.

You know how a jar of natural peanut butter separates into two layers: a rock hard layer of solid peanut particles on the bottom, and a liquid layer of oil that splashes onto the kitchen counter and your clothes when you try to stir the two layers together?
John Falk Kelly didn't like it when that... More.
A study published by the Journal of Family Issues has found that there is a link between household labor time and sexual frequency — the more men help out with chores at home, the more sex a couple tends to have. Lead researcher Constance Gager: "We're not saying that housework causes sex; rat... More.

How will that work when you want to drive straight? They have the steering wheel turned in that image.
We had these back in the 60's in drive in restaurants like Bob's Big Boy. And the sonic style outside tray was actually placed so it was inside the car for the passengers.
Brilliant. Follow the Amazon.com link and view ALL of the customer images with item. Absolutely Brilliant.
The Steering Wheel is upside down in the picture. So unless you are doing donuts in a parking lot, this will not help you play guitar while driving.
Steve Morse (guitarist from Kansas) has claimed that he used to play guitar on his drive to and from work (as a pilot) prior to becoming a successful musician.
"It's such a fine line between stupid and clever..."
Reminds me of cup holders. I've all ways said that if god had wanted you to use cup holders he wouldn't have given you a crotch.
there it is, in thirty thousand little pixels, the beginning of the end.
Remember that scene in Catch 22 with the guy on the Raft? Big Bomber flying low cleaves him in twaine?

I really have no problem whatsoever with this product.
Now all they need to invent is a seat/toilet. Then the road to hell will be paved with more than just good intentions.
It clearly states that it is not intended for use during driving, but you should most def take the advice of anon, above:

Modusoperandi - full congrats, I've been looking for years to re-purpose the road to good intentions in an amusing way, and you've cracked it!
I look forward to seeing this featuring in a Darwin award.

I stand corrected. The danger is worse than we thought.
