Former Bush Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld got an up close and personal lesson in exactly how much a pain in the balls Homeland Security can be this week.

On his way to former first lady Betty Ford’s funeral in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mr. Rumsfeld was pulled aside and patted down by TSA agents at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. In surprisingly good spirits about the situation, Rumsfeld tweeted the following message:

“It takes those of us with two titanium hips and a titanium shoulder a bit longer to get through TSA.”
