Sounds like TSA at any airport.
I read the article and still have no idea where Worth County is.
My bad. It’s in Georgia.
For gawd sakes, doesn’t he know that you can only do that at the TSA?
“Sounds like TSA at any airport.”
And this explains why this dept. is not featured on A&E’s “Live PD”.
As an aside, has anyone seen the Sheriff in Pinallas Co (i think ) in Arizona? Cowboy hotness!!
His actions seem to follow the finest traditions of the JustUs Department
