Airport Security Play Set

Why let your kids play with toys that encourage their wildest flights of fancy when you can teach them the joys of standing in line and following rules? For a cool $58, you can bring your kids up to speed on airport-security regulations imposed in the fearful wake of 9/11. German company Playmobil is known for making toys and figurines that allow kids to explore real-life occupations: firefighter, policeman, cowboy, pilot. This entrant, in the words of a bemused reviewer, is "great at teaching youngsters how to behave in a police state."
