The cartoon shows a TSA agent using a metal detector to scan a same-sex couple, implying that the increased security measures put in place after 9/11 are being applied to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation. This suggests that the ideas expressed in the cartoon are responding to legislation after 2001 that sought to improve security. The other options, such as legalization of gay marriage or the end of the Cold War, are not relevant to the cartoon's message.
