TSA Finds Three Landmines in Woman's Luggage
A New Jersey woman flying to San Francisco to attend an explosives demonstration packed three shrapnel-filled landmines for the occasion. TSA screeners were not impressed. (www.nycaviation.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Finally,a story about the TSA not sreaning young children that are in a wheelchair or hugging their grandparents.
Well, you would have thought that with all the negative publicity lately, they would have saw to it that was more than just the blurb they got in this story, that they finally did somthing right.
They in fact did catch a goofball who must be dense in the first place. Remains to be seen of they can catch a true terrorist. Are there any big time terrorists still trying to blow up a plane? Maybe its been there done that! Who knows. But I sure hope there is a huge threat to keep 60k people chasing it.
These probably ought to be put in the firearms and locked case category.
Agreed...
The devices were confiscated, she was rebooked and allowed to proceed to San Francisco. At the same time, it sounds quirky they didn’t check further .. while it was said these “were harmless”, who’s to say someone else on the same flight was not carrying the other required components and got thru ?
