If I worked for TSA, my mom would slap me and told me she raised me better than that.

But would she glove up and then throw away the gloves post-slap?

Only if the next person waiting to be slapped insisted, despite her saying that she'd just changed them, that she do so.

Take a look at the comments on the story. Talk about airing family grievances in public! :o

Also interesting, she's from Germany. Guess she wanted to work for an organization that reminded her of her homeland. :D

Nice to know that he brought his mom a cupcake. I'm sure he purchased a vendor-certified one inside the sterile area or measured the frosting carefully before putting it in a safety baggie to take it through the checkpoint. :rolleyes:

Actually, her husband who came from Germany, too. She got divorced her ex-husband a while ago. She want be with him again.
