Finally!!! Just about time. Why he took too long?!?!? What a moron for TSA computer guy did not post the TSA weekly for a long time. He should do it for every week. He can't leave from the office.

A couple of additions while we're at it:

1 - Neo-Nazi screening clerks pleading guilty to hate crime.

1 - Bogus dismissal attempt for lawsuit

Right. I don't see any suspicious behavior at checkpoint or terminal evacuated lately.

Sorry Goalie & FS. I got the TSA weekly today and it was very late.

Wow....27 firearms went through at checkpoint? That's not good at all. They should leave behind at home and not take the guns at airport.

Please move along.

LOL!

To another point, they must be really good at "finding" guns. It is, after all, almost 9/11 and people need to know these measures are working.

No worries and at least the TSA gave us something to:

A) Allow us to sleep better at night
B) Laugh about
C) Ponder the existence of God
D) Lose your lunch
E) Know that water and toothpaste are still dangerous
F) Discuss other than Hurricane Irene
G) ...

I dunno-that cork looks awfully dangerous-it could be used to shoot thru the hardened door to the flight deck and then take the pilot's eye out
