 MSNBC.com celebrated National Aviation Day with another round of Dotty Awards, and SAFER took one home! The original MSNBC Dotty Awards were unveiled on April 1, "a date that celebrates both general buffoonery and the official debut of the U.S. Department of Transportation, aka DOT."

The Seth Rogen Award for, like, ummm, what was I saying?

Sorry, the judges got a little dizzy there. They were considering candidates when they came across two who were totally awesome. On the one hand, we have Mason Tvert of Denver, an advocate for legalizing marijuana, who suggests that letting passengers torch one before boarding would cut down on incidents of air rage. On the other, we have the enthusiastic Customs official at Tokyo’s Narita Airport who slipped five ounces of weed into a random passenger’s bag as part of a drill — and then proceeded to forget which bag it was in.

In the end, after much discussion and a box of Thin Mints, the judges agreed that Tvert should receive the award for his efforts to make flying a mellower, more pleasant experience for everyone. Whenever you’re ready, Mason, you can pick up your Dotty at the Japanese Customs Office at Narita. Just make sure you check the pockets.
