1. The caption used in this cartoon is "But the good news is nobody smuggled a six-ounce shampoo bottle aboard..." which is used to poke fun at the tedious search and all of the things they check for yet there are still many problems with air travel today. The bit at the bottom "the airline provides the blow-dryer" is just a side bit for the cartoon as it shows the passengers sitting roofless, with their hair moving with the breeze.
2. In this cartoon, there is simply a plane with its roof detached, showing the passengers shouting inside the plane. I believe the artist was just trying to represent how ridiculous the airline business is when the confiscate bottles of hair product, but still face so many obstacles and dangers.
3. In this cartoon, the artist depicts what appears to be a Southwest plane flying through the air with no roof, poking fun at the recent events concerning planes in the United States that were reportedly shot at.
4. I think the artist is trying to say that the Air Travel industry, more specifically security, almost tries too hard in a sense, yet there are still many obstacles that they cannot control. I think this cartoon represents a liberal ideology due to the quote "But the good news is nobody smuggled a six-ounce shampoo bottle aboard..." which to me pokes fun at the security and to me leans more toward the attitude of privacy over security.
5. This cartoon ties in directly with the recent events concerning a Southwest plane that was reportedly shot at shortly after take-off.
6. In this cartoon satire is a big card. The quote "But the good news is nobody smuggled a six-ounce shampoo bottle aboard..." is a direct shot at the security branch of air travel, and how secure, yet ineffective it may be.
