TSA: Worker Who Wrote ‘Freak On’ Note No Longer Checking Baggage

NEW YORK - A Transportation Security Administration employee responsible for a passenger’s ‘freak’ out earlier this week is no longer checking luggage, according to the agency.

Jill Filipovic, of Brooklyn, who flew from Newark Liberty Airport to Dublin over the weekend opened her luggage Monday morning to discover a personalized note on an official TSA form, reading “GET YOUR FREAK ON GIRL.”

Filipovic, a lawyer and blogger, believes the note stemmed from the small vibrator that was packed in her suitcase.

On Wednesday, the TSA said that it had “quickly launched an investigation and identified the employee responsible.”

My favorite was one of my co-workers who flew to Florida for temporary duty with his flight gear in his bag. The TSA guy could figure out how to turn on his emergency beacon, but couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. He put it back in the bag in the on position and put the bag on the plane.

What’s worse... getting a note from the TSA about your vibrator or announcing it to the world?!

Anything in your checked baggage has always been fair game for theivery,
and that has been the case since long before there was ever a TSA.
It has not changed, and may have even gotten worse.

By beacon do you mean the radio beacon that sets off alerts and is tracked by satellite? EPIRB, I think it is called. That one? If so a big giant LOL!

She lives in NYC and is very liberal, I wonder if Bill Clinton has summoned her to Harlem for a meeting yet.

Ohhh. Because no-one listens to 121.5 or 243. Except lots of us. That know how to 'fox hunt' to find transmitters.

What a bunch of maroons (ref B.B.).

I'm awake for "Navy tower on 121.5 how do you hear?" every morning, and hear ground respond. Also hear the same radio checks every night when they shut down. Checks their equipment out, and as a benefit, it checks my receivers, as well.

Pff. Girl has no sense of humor. I’d have laughed heartily and kept that note as a souvenir.

If someone had done that to one of my ex-wives, a return note would have named seconds, and established a time on a misty field somewhere.

Of course, later, I would have regretted agreeing to a duel with sledgehammers.... But gentlemen do not make a scene of pawing wimmen's underthings.

Or else. And harumph, for good measure.

If you want your porn to be a secret, don’t take it on a plane trip.
