TSA to the Rescue !!
« on: October 06, 2013, 05:23:46 PM »
or not.

9 year old boy gets through airport security (without a ticket or boarding pass) and onto Las Vegas bound flight.  Good thing the stewardi (or flight attendants as they are called these days), cast the hairy ball on said youngster and had the Vegas PD (not CSI) waiting for him when he arrived. 

Which is probably a good thing.  Given the way he played the TSA and Delta Airlines, he'd probably own most of Vegas by now.  =D

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Naturally, the .gov is blaming it on the shutdown and furloughs.

Funny -- any time I've flown it was airline personnel who checked my ticket and boarding pass at the gate and when I got onto the aircraft, not TSA. The furloughs don't affect airlines. This is just further proof that our "security" system isn't very secure.

It gets better.  He grabbed some luggage and scammed a free meal.  He has a big future in politics.

Maybe he was trying to get to Arabia to rescue his horse ???  =|
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
