Crackerjack TSA is watching out for your safety... no REALLY!
Woman Finds TSA Uniform In Her Luggage
An airline passenger made a surprising discovery after flying from New Jersey to Florida -- When she opened her luggage, she found a uniform belonging to the Transportation Security Administration.
But the TSA says it couldn't possibly be true! They didn't search her bag. No sirree! They're really good about putting a note in people's luggage telling them they rifled through their personal belongings.
The TSA says her luggage wasn't searched by a TSA employee because there was no note left in her suitcase stating it was physically searched.
Never mind the uniform with the patches, ID tag and number.Meanwhile, another set of TSA chimps apparently apprehended themselves a terrorist! That's right. He was on the no-fly list, and therefore, HAD to be a terrorist. No, REALLY! Because government asshats never make mistakes. Ever. The Marine Staff Sgt. coming back from Iraq was definitely a terrorist.
The Transportation Security Administration bagged a terrorist in Los Angeles International Airport Tuesday, or so they thought. Daniel Brown's name came up on their no-fly watchlist, so they dragged him into interrogation and grilled him, despite the protestations of Brown and his fellow travelers, who swore they could vouch for him.
The others in Brown's party went on their Northwest Airlines flight to Minneapolis-St. Paul, where they waited on a bus at the airport. You see, the detained man was Staff Sergeant Daniel Brown, USMC Reserve, and he was traveling with the other members of his Marine Reserve Military Police unit, which was heading home to Minnesota from eight months of combat in Iraq. The Marines were in full uniform and all, including Brown, had travel orders and military identification cards.
After attempts to stonewall under claims of "security," TSA spokesmen finally admitted that Staff Sergeant Daniel Brown was placed on the no-fly list, and ultimately detained, because they had detected gunpowder on his footgear -- not on this flight, but on a prior flight, which earned Brown a permanent place on the TSA's mysterious terrorist lists.
The footgear that had been exposed to gunpowder? Brown's combat boots, and the occasion of that flight was after his return from his first combat tour in Iraq. Gee... a combat Marine in Al-Anbar Province being exposed to gunpowder.
Don't you feel safer now?
