The TSA was just outrageous here.

1. One just has to wonder who in power was eager to discredit her?

She was a former Secret service?

No doubt a candidate of the Homeland Security "no fly" list?

4. Must be in a Baggie

Flying out of SeaTac last Friday late morning, the guy in front of me set the metal detector alarm off. He stepped back and put the TWO miniatures he had in his pocket into a tray and sent them thru behind my bags.

On the other side, the TSA agent presented the tray to him and said 'Sir, these must be in a baggie.' "Where can I get a baggie?" "I can escort you to the other side of the checkpoint and you can obtain one from our agent", "Can I just drink them?" "No, they'll go straight into the garbage." and with that I had my stuff and walked away.

I guess a BAGGIE will save us all from terrorist activities from a poor guy that only wanted a couple of shots. <smile.

The worst irony is that I'd picked up a sample of shampoo/conditioner that I'd forgotten about and left in my carryon bag. It sailed through without any questions. Maybe they could tell in the Xray it was in a Baggie.

<sometimes the letter of the law just is tooooo funny for words>

5. They caught me trying to take down the WH with six cans of tomatoe paste...

Yeah, that's right imperialists. You caught me that time, but I'm still free and able to plan my next attack. They confiscated my six cans of tomatoe paste that I was forced to place in my carry on because my bags were 2 pounds overweight, but I'll think of some new plan for the future.

Finding tomatoe paste in Mexico is like looking for a needle in a haystack. One of the few things that is near impossible to find, but it's sort of imperative for spaghetti sauce. Good thing these top notch security folks found the six cans and took them away from me. No telling what evil plans I had in store for that flight to Mexico.

Such a total crock of shit! I'm waiting for them to take urine samples next.

6. I would be pissed too... you know how hard it is to go anywhere

with a child that small? A sippy cup... give me a break... I guess ziplock's stocks have increased since this newest fandangle. I noticed they don't use a cheapy brand like I have to... no its ziplock.
