Awesome Video Alert: An Airport TSA Security Run-Through As You Never Imagined

If there's one sure-fire way to get a YouTube video trending, it's to sing or dance about air travel. The girls of Cebu Pacific know all about it, and now so does a little airport way up at the top of the Nifty Fifty. Northwest Montana's Glacier Park International Airport has enlisted the Singing Sons of Beaches, a trio music act Budget Travel aptly describes as "a cross between Jimmy Buffett and your kookiest uncle."

The fun video above, which was actually the brainchild of none other than Cindy Martin, CEO of the Airport, shows the three men clad in Hawaiian shirts and running through all of the dos and don'ts of the TSA checkpoint.

We won't ruin it by describing every little scene to you, but frankly, we're impressed that they even got near any airport with some of that stuff. Real guns or fake, real knives or fake, that obviously fake bomb—let's just hope they weren't pulled over on their way out of the airport area and their trunk searched.
