A Pennsylvania man sued the federal government Wednesday, alleging that he was abusively interrogated, handcuffed and detained for five hours at Philadelphia's airport in August because he carried a set of English-Arabic flashcards as part of his college language studies.Feel safer now?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Ooh, it's the flashcards of mass destruction! Why, if the dude hadn't been stopped by the TSA, he would have detonated his flashcards in flight and KILLED US ALL!

ReplyDeleteMy wife has a friend that had an interview for a job at TSA, the location was some large building by the airport. The story of how and where the interview was conducted and the persons she talked with left us laughing; it was strange to say the least. The end of the interview describes the TSA. Instead of escorting her back the way she came in, they open a door in the interview room and let her out and closed the door. She was standing in a large vacant parking lot with the long building stretching out both directions, it took a few minutes to orient herself and a long walk to her car. Our conclusion is the hiring process is why they have the people they have. Could it be like the movie where the mad scientist accidentally planted the brain of a craze murder into the head of his creation, but in this is case they use the wrong hiring manual, the one written by the craze physiologist that should have been burned.
ReplyDeleteRecently I took quite a bit of study material with me on vacation. Half a dozen thin electronics technology textbooks made a couple of TSA screeners suspicious.
