''Sometimes these things happen,'' said Kevin Farrington, a spokesman for the FBI, which interviewed the man. ``People just have untimely lapses in judgment or they simply forget when they have things on their person.''
I agree with Mr. Farrington, but if the TSA is going to demand that people who make written objections to their screening or the decision-makers be arrested, then people who break federal regulations by bringing prohibited items into a secure area and fail to be screened should be arrested and charged. A crime has been committed under 49 USC 46503. The screeners were unable to perform their duties due to the interference of this man.
