Full Cavity Search

What kind of world are we living in when Playmobil®, a company known for it's child-friendly toys, starts producing toys like this Airport Security Check-in:

               


What does this teach kids? "See, Johnny, the man is getting pulled out of line and randomly strip-searched because he is wearing a turban on his head. Isn't that silly? Don't they know he's Sikh?" Or maybe it teaches kids that boredom can be fun! Standing in line, yippee! I think this toy is more for adults, like a voodoo doll for revenge on those ridiculously slow and ill-tempered airport security personnel. You bend over! Let's see how this feels! I guess it kind of goes along with the theme of the Playmobil® HAZMAT Crew, Operating Room and Port-a-potty. Kids gotta' learn somehow. Accidents do happen.
