Someone Needs a Kick in the Nutsack.......
Lots of people really.
Daniel Rubin: It was no joke at security gate
"She would be flying into Detroit on Northwest Airlines, the same city and carrier involved in the attempted bombing on Christmas, just 10 days before. She was tense.
What happened to her lasted only 20 seconds, but she says they were the longest 20 seconds of her life.
After pulling her laptop out of her carry-on bag, sliding the items through the scanning machines, and walking through a detector, she went to collect her things.
A TSA worker was staring at her. He motioned her toward him.
Then he pulled a small, clear plastic bag from her carry-on - the sort of baggie that a pair of earrings might come in. Inside the bag was fine, white powder.
She remembers his words: "Where did you get it?"
Turns out he was f**king with her and thought that shit was funny.
You try that and see how funny the TSA thinks it is.
No, I take that back. Don't try that unless you really like small rooms full of angry men with guns.
Yes, I see the update that says he's "No longer employed with the TSA".
Swell.
This whole situation, and everything TSA related since the Christmas day undieBomber has once again highlighted how screwed up the TSA and Homeland security is from Janet Napolitano on down. No, from the Whitehouse on down.
Shit, read this BS and see if it makes you feel better. Director Of National Intelligence: We Didn't Put The Christmas Day Bomber In Our High Value Interrogation Program Because, Uh, We Don't Have One.
It's a damn Goat Ropin' 24/7 with these assholes. Total fuggin' professionals we have 'eh?
Bah. A pox on the whole bunch of them.
Gratuitous Picture for a Friday Morning-
