Abundance of caution...and pepper spray
Out of an abundance of caution, a JFK TSA'er pepper sprayed himself and five coworkers to determine if the pepper spray was real.
http://gothamist.com/2013/03/27/tsa_...epper_spra.php A Port Authority source tells the Post the agent, one Chris Yves "Barney Fife" Dabel, was “playing around” with the pepper spray after finding it on the floor. |
As my four year-old would say, "He's so silly!"

I mean, really, just when you think the TSA couldn't possibly be and dumber, they go and prove you wrong. They just can't get out of their own way. |
I'd say a combination of stupidity and karma. Either way it put a smile on my face to hear about this!

Six TSA agents in the hospital over this. It's a proud day at the agency.

I wonder how Blogger Bob can spin this one. I would be extremely pissed off if I was one of the 6 that were sent to the hospital.

Bottomless pit of incompetence. Incredible.

Thought it was a laser pointer And with that, something doesn't make sense as there's this.... To test his hypothesis, he proceeded to spray five other TSA agents around him Officers were examining an abandoned item to determine its contents and to move it out of harm’s way when it accidentally discharged |
If I'd sprayed five coworkers with pepper spray to "test [my] hypothesis" when I was an Air Force cop, I would've gotten at least an Article 15 - essentially the last line of punishment before a court-martial proceeding. I wonder what (won't) will happen to these yahoos since the incident is already being covered up as an accident by the TSA.
Pepper spray doesn't "accidentally" discharge. It's specifically designed not to for obvious reasons. Even the civilianized versions aren't just aim and shoot. And if the bottle was damaged and leaking, only the person picking it up and maybe one other would be affected. Not FIVE. |
