TSA Uniform Mysteriously Appears In Woman's Luggage

An airline passenger who arrived in Florida from New Jersey opened her suitcase and found a uniform belonging to a Transportation Security Administration officer, according to a Local 6 News report.
Debra Sanders found the TSA uniform folded and packed with her items.
"My jaw dropped," Sanders said. "I couldn't believe what was on there: Patches for Homeland Security, TSA all over it, and then the name tag with the number."
Sanders had just arrived at Tampa International after flying JetBlue out of Newark.
Sanders said she hopes the incident was just a mistake by a screener but fears someone was trying to pass off the TSA uniform to someone else and put it in the wrong piece of luggage, the report said.
She said her neighbors were killed in the Sept. 11, World Trade Center attacks.
"To see something like this when you don't want something like that happening again, it's a little scary," Sanders said.
The Transportation Security Administration was contacted about the uniform, according to the report.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ATLANTA -- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials closed down all security checkpoints Wednesday afternoon after a "suspicious device" was detected in a screening machine."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The airport remained open and operating, although airport spokeswoman Felicia Browder acknowledged there was no way for passengers entering the airport to access their airplanes.
Browder said Federal Transportation Security Administration workers detected the suspicious item inside a bag just before 2 p.m.
Browder said an airport explosive detection unit was deployed.
Browder said the checkpoint shutdown was delaying flights out of the airport, which is one of the nation's busiest."
You might want to be sitting down to ead the "official" explanation of how the TSA shirt got into Ms. Sanders' suitcase:
>>>Mark Hatfield, director of security at Newark Airport, told Action News by phone that Debra's luggage had been screened. The uniform shirt, he added, was likely on a nearby hook and fell off.<<<
