Play Like the Big Kids
Madeleine Robins

It’s an actual toy. The Playmobil Security Checkpoint*. Probably made to work with the Playmobil airport (now with extra delays and no in-flight meals!) and the Playmobil terrorist detaineecenter.
Actually, they do have a Playmobil Police Checkpoint and Playmobil Safe Crackers advertised on the same page.
I don’t know which is scarier. The fact that this exists, or the fact that they’re charging $62 for the set. I realize that Playmobil toys don’t come cheap, so maybe I shouldn’t fret about that. But the fact that we’re now elevating All Fear All The Time to the same bracket as playing grocery or school makes me queasy.
But don’t just take my word for it. The Customer Comments on this page are to die for. Just note how many people have tagged the product under “Facism!”
