How stupid can you get

According to local tv station WBTV a 26 year old man was arrested at BDL this afternoon after he told TSA he had a bomb in his pocket.

The 26 year old man was selected for additional screening & when asked if he had any thing in his pockets his reply was " Yes I have a bomb ". Screening was suspended approx. 25 minutes.

Like most folks here I hate the TSA crap, but damn how stupid can one get ?

You don't know what really happened. You only know what the TSA and the media reported.

He could have said, "Yes, I have a comb." and the dim-witted, knuckle-dragging, paranoid, power-tripping, fake-LEO-uniformed smurffies thought he said, "Yes, I have a bomb."

Did they all "huddle" around him after he made that announcement? That would indicate that they knew damn good and well that he didn't have a "bomb" in his pocket.

His only chance now is to swear he said "Balm" like Chap Stik.

Like they put all the 3.5oz explosives in the trashcan right next to a bazillion people?

Or they slither off somewhere to eat the "too dangerous to fly" cupcakes?

In a how stupid can you be competition, I'm going to bet on TSA every time.

I vote for "I have balm in my pocket." ^

I am thinking he probably said, "I have a rocket in my pocket"

TSA just interpreted it as "BOMB"!!!
