Reason TV Replay: Grandma Got Indefinitely Detained (A Very TSA Christmas)

As Americans get ready to travel for the holidays, here is a look back at last year's Christmas-themed Remy-ReasonTV collaboration. 

Here is the original text from the Dec 19, 2011 video:

In seasons past, Grandma only had to worry about getting run over by a reindeer. With "Grandma Got Run Over by TSA," web sensation Remy gets us in the holiday mood with a song about Christmas, Homeland Security, and the joys of civil rights abuses.
 
"Grandma Got Run Over by TSA" is one of a series of collaborations between Remy and Reason.tv. To watch Remy's other videos, go to http:youtube.com/goremy
 
Approximately 2:25 minutes. Music by Remy. Video shot and produced by Meredith Bragg.
 
Lyrics:
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
coming home to visit Christmas Eve
You could say she had a right to counsel
but some folks in the Congress disagree
 
she was flying home to our house
when she got checked by TSA
thought she might be Abdulmutallab
when they looked at her X-ray
 
Her hair had recently been colored
she paid cash for her Christmas gifts
two things apparently the Congress
says just might make you a terrorist
 
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
coming home to visit Christmas Eve
you could claim there's no right to due process
but check the 5th amendment and you'll see
 
they say they need to have these powers
to help protect this free country
but if it takes these steps to do so
what is it we are protecting?
 
Now she's an enemy combatant
as if that makes any sense
the only thing that she's combating
is her unpredictable incontinence
 
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
trying to come visit Christmas Eve
they took her rights in order to…protect rights..
the most genius plan ever in history
 
Grandma got indefinitely detained now
never made it home on Christmas day
she always wanted to live in Miami
at least now she's 90 miles away
