Now being reported on the news here in Tampa
http://www.baynews9.com/article/news...lane,-arrested
Seems someone did the job wrong there. Definite security issue if the wrong bag is caught.
Why arrested? They don't arrest people that try to carry big liquid items through security. Is it cause he got through that they could/would arrest the person, even though the process should have caught it?

That's not The Three Stooges theme...
so let me get this straight. if they had found the knife at the checkpoint, he could either "surrender" it or leave security and put it back in his car, without facing any consequences. But since the TSA screwed up and let him through, he gets arrested? Shouldn't it be the TSA employees who screwed up being the ones facing punitive measures?

What a stupid things to TSA did not have a right person. Shame on you!Quote:
At Los Angeles International the rule is you can surrender the knife or leave with it if the blade is under 3 inches. If it is over 3 inches the TSA calls the police who will at very least write you ticket for a very large fine. At most you will be arrested. Originally Posted by gobluetwo

I am not condoning the arrest mind you. I am just stating the TSA rule for LAX. The TSA misses lots of knives everyday.
...and I'm sure that the innocent person who was "detained" received a profuse and sincere apology from the FSD and Pissy himself.

Yes, that is problem. It was too many times to slip through the knives, guns, explosives and metal objects, too. No one who responsible for the behavior at airport. Some screener will be firing from the job.Originally Posted by BillForster

Just like TIA and TPA are two different things. AA's web site tells me the difference is at least $1200 r/t. Originally Posted by cb1111
Like many news stories, this one is confusing. First it says "arrested" and then it says "cited." Those are generally two different things.
