Make sure ex-wife doesn't frame you as a terrorist: USA Today report

http://travel.usatoday.com/flights/p...light/690195/1

The gun components were discovered Monday inside the toys of a 4-year-old boy who was traveling with his father to Detroit.

"The TSA says (a) .40 caliber gun was artfully concealed in different pieces in the three animals.

A police spokesperson tells CBS This Morning authorities "believe this was related to an ongoing domestic dispute" in which the man's wife was trying to cause problems for her husband.

My thoughts exactly.

I wonder what she thought would happen to her four year old son while daddy was being questioned and possibly arrested??

Crazy.

But to involve the child in it, that's just scummy.
Now TSA is going to strip search Teddy bears? Thanks (that thing that that rhymes with "witch").

It's also an example that shows that even though TSA has modified the screening process for children 12 and under, the security process is still just as effective.
So ... Discovering something that someone planted with the specific intention that it should be discovered by the screening process is proof of effectiveness. Effectiveness at what?

Proof that they can effectively catch the dumbest terrorist in the world that doesn't even think about ways to actually hide a weapon.

Call me a liberal lame-o but I would be somewhat concerned if my wife knew how to dismantle a handgun in the first place.

Especially because I suspect the courts are going to question whether she should have ANY custody of the child. Someone who's that unhinged isn't going to look at any fallout as being her fault.

When I was in college I worked for our local child support enforcement agency. After that, nothing really shocks me about the lengths one parent will go to get the other parent in trouble. Calls demanding we throw the other parent in jail were a daily occurrence - and that was in cases where the other parent was actually paying what the owed.

This could very well cost her her custody rights.

All that means is that she knows how to care for a firearm. Plenty of women do. I would think anyone with a CCW permit could do this.
