Chase Freedom Card TSA Ad

This ad shows what everybody has secretly been thinking about wanting to do at the airport security metal detector ever since seeing This Is Spinal Tap; but it looks like this guy is using rolls of quarters instead of an aluminum foil-wrapped pickle. The guy being waved with the metal detector here keeps having more and more change in his pocket with each wave of the wand, while his wife uses his card to buy stuff, demonstrating that you get cash back with every purchase with the card. But it’s called the “Freedom Card”, and if this scenario really happened like this, you’d probably lose your freedom as a result, so it may be ironically named.

And the truth is, if you did this, they’d think you must be a terrorist aide trying to distract the TSA while your militant buddy sneaks something else through. But his wife probably knows this, and that’s why she’s doing it! You see, they had a big fight earlier, and he called her a bitch. So knowing what the card would do to him in the airport screening process, she decided to use it as revenge! And right about now, he’s getting a cavity search! Plus, he’ll probably get put onto the “No Fly List”, so she can take the kids and fly somewhere else, and it would take him forever to get there! So remember ladies: you can use this to screw up your husband’s life whenever they make you mad! And guys: maybe this should teach you the dangers of having a joint account!

I can’t find this ad online, but you may have seen it on TV. Maybe they had to pull the ad because it encouraged sketchy behavior at the TSA checkpoints!
