So it is not just the inept seemingly power hungry TSA that should be cause for concern... but also the inept seemingly power hungry police as well.
Have you seen the video? What was this cop supposed to do after Emmerson intentionally dumped the sippy cup on the polished floor in the very busy security exit?
"Have a nice day, ma'am -- don't worry about that spill, I'll get that for you!"
The cop didn't arrest Emmerson or even hold her for more than a couple of minutes. She apparently asked Emmerson to clean up the mess she had just intentionally made. Is that so unreasonable?
