Ahh, the TSA Heavy Hands Again....
« on: December 03, 2011, 08:24:25 AM »
Florida teen detained by TSA for design on her purse

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/florida-teen-detained-tsa-design-her-purse-221835034.html

According to the TSA, this constitutes a 'replica weapon' which they banned in 2002.
Good for her in expressing her 1A rights while supporting 2A at the same time!

After TSA agents figured out the gun was a fake,

How many hours did that take?

Utter BS from the TSA.

But I like how the article makes this statement,

the pregnant teen missed her flight.

What does her being pregnant have to do with this story?  Once again the press trying to create a misdirection.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

On the other hand, people usually have more sympathy for a pregnant woman. I'll even go way out on a limb, here and say that they're probably also seen as low risks for hijacking airplanes.

Pretty lame, did they think it could be detached somehow?

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
