Unfortunately, we are not talking about 13,000 illegal aliens, no, our nanny state “public fill-in-the-blank” government spent many precious man hours saving us from… blow dryers. 13,000 of ‘em.

Obama’s border enforcement officials prevented over 13,000 dangerous hair dryers from entering the country, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) trumpeted Wednesday.

Go after those illegal alien blow dryers instead of the criminals that have crossed the border, the coyote’s, the drug cartels, no, forget about that, those hair dryers are a “public safety” issue. Yup! You could get a shock if they are submersed in water! Nanny State Red Alert!

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized thousands of hair dryers recently that were determined to constitute a “substantial product hazard” under U.S. law, for failing to have adequate immersion protection,” DHS announced.  “The potentially dangerous hair dryers were identified through a nationwide targeting operation by the CBP Import Safety Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center (CTAC).”

If you’re going to use electricity near water, and try to submerge said electrical product in said water, you’re a dumbass that deserves to be electrocuted, but no, Nanny State needs to futily attempt to legislate stupidity and common sense.

My God! Another miracle! How did we ever survive without “immersion protection” on blow dryers? Wow! We must have been near extinction. Thank goodness for Nanny State and the Dept. of Homeland Security protecting ourselves from ourselves because we’re just too goddam dumb to know any better!
