I just flew to Newark and back this weekend (commercial) and when packing
discovered a package of firecrackers that have been in the bag on two
commercial trips and not been discovered on either swab test. On the way
back, the screeners discovered my BuckTool (like a Leatherman, it's a
folding multi-tool with two 7-8 cm long knife blades) that I'd totally
forgotten about and which had been in my bum bag on the trip out.

Fortunately Newark Airport has a Staples so I bought an envelope and some
stamps and mailed it back to myself.

the software.

At first I thought Homeland Security was an Illuminati plot, but things like
this are beginning to make me think that TSA is actually run by Discordians
masquerading as Illuminati.

Actually, I think I like that article A LOT...

Gotta love it.


"Obviously there will be a lot of questions asked in America as to how he
got on the plane undetected."

....

"Screening of passengers at Washington Dulles airport is the responsibility
of the Transportation Security Administration."

....

Hahahah!

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

What I don't understand is why the websites of the major news organizations
in the US don't believe it is worth reporting, after all, the Sudanese man
( there should have been alarm number one there ) boarded the plane in D.C.
after all the hype about improved security.

The TSA could buy a lot of good will, and make some money by having envelopes
at the security sites, and sending Leathermen and other tools along with the
passenger in a secure part of the airplane. Or mailing them home.

They have been nobbled by the government to not broadcast criticism of
US security. Imagine if this got out, no one would fly.

Are you always unaware of the contents of your luggage?

Wow, that's quite a lot of joy about a potentially deadly situation.
It reminds me of footage of people dancing in the streets a while
back...

So, are you advocating airport security breaches, or just a fan?
