Senator McCain Briefly Detained

December 31, 2009 (WASHINGTON) - Arizona Senator John McCain was briefly detained this morning by security officers at Dulles International Airport after bomb-sniffing dogs showed unusual interest in the senator's crotch area. He was briefly questioned before showing his credentials and being released by apologetic officers.

"In the wake of the attempted Christmas day bombing of the flight to Detroit by that young Nigerian man, everyone's underwear must be regarded with grave suspicion," said TSA spokesman Gerald DeFore. "No one's skivvies are above the law."

Asked by reporters why the dogs were so interested in sniffing his crotch, Sen. McCain grinned and said "What can I say? The old man's still got it."

Asked whether he wears boxers or briefs, the senator replied, "Depends," before hurrying off to catch his flight.
