It was the bump stock finger that did her in.

“I'm just sitting there, almost in tears, like, 'No, I'm just really dumb, I'm not a terrorist!'”

No dear, you're not really dumb. They are.

Congratulations,Texas!

More likely it was so a lesbian TSA could cop another feel.

Guns up!

[SgtHooper]

LOL! Never knew ASL in sign language translates into “A-S-oLe”!

Sooo not guilty it is a miscarriage of justice. Bit of tarantula eyes though... :-)

[moovova]

Not guilty...except, there’s something about her eyes...

[moovova]

Hah!

You picked up something in her eyes too.

Texas Ping!

“My daughter goes to Tech, of course the Liberals want to get rid of Tech’s “Guns Up!” slogan.”

Just like the hoplophobes would like to remove Oklahoma State’s Pistol Pete mascot’s six-shooters and shotgun.

The TSA agent was probably an import from some sh*t hole country.

Better that than an assault Pop-Tart.

I went to Gettysburg College; our mascot is the Gettysburg Bullet. So far (knock on wood) sanity has prevailed although the faculty and admin has turned hard left in the decades since I graduated.

I was recently accosted by a TSA agent who could not speak English.

Just a little problem with her mascara.

My latest “adventure” with TSA just three days ago in Nashville- Both wife and I are TSA Pre- ✔️ . We lay our two carry bags on the belt. Bimbo agent at the controls with equally dense male supervisor standing next to her start inspecting the contents. Mine gets a double run because of something suspicious (two iPads w/ charging devices). My wife has one of those empty insulated cups for water in a mesh compartment on the outside of her bag - clearly visible. Hers gets pulled as well and the cup inspected because in their words “ it was an unknown object”.

Yep...they are that stupid!

TSA interaction stories consistently prove that fact is stranger than fiction (in other words, you can’t make this stuff up!).

While traveling out of Logan in Boston, a few years ago, I was told my flashlight was a dangerous weapon. After threatening me with arrest, as I conversed with the agent about his decision, he eventually allowed me to mail it back to myself. It took more than six weeks for the flashlight to find its way from Boston to Lincoln, Maine.

America’s TSA process does not lead me to believe they are making flying more secure.
