Oops! That's not good for me at all. I do not appreciate it for the behaviors at airport. It should have to be more respectable to follow the specific rules.

So you found a bunch of bottles of water, snow globes, and 4 oz tubes of tooth paste.

How many terrorists has the TSA found?

A large negative number, if you include the false positives....

You'd have to, since false positives are the only kind of positives they get!

At least one of those two items must have been found at DEN:

Still no verification that any of these claims are in fact, true.

And the count of terrorists apprehended remains at 0.

I guess everybody, including me, was too wrapped up in the Super Bowl to have noticed this past week's body count:


3 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
6 firearms found at checkpoints
10 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
Less guns, but the SPOTNiks must have been busy...
