Oh, no. You have given TSA a good idea to find terrorists: feel the heads of all passengers! ;) Opposite end from usual.

Just as effective.

Finally they caught a terrorist!
 
After 12 years and (how many?) Billions of Dollars, it finally happened!
They finally caught a terrorist.
Unfortunately it was one of their own.

A Transportation Security Administration agent has been accused of threatening to shoot coworkers at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, according to multiple media reports.

Bush Intercontinental Airport TSA agent Jeno Vernelli Mouton has been charged with making a terroristic threat.
Jeno Vernelli Mouton, 35, has been arrested and charged with making a terroristic threat, a felony, the Houston Chronicle reported.
According to the Associated Press, documents say Mouton told an airport supervisor on Jan. 25 that he wanted to vent instead of “come back and shoot up the place.” KPRC-TV reported that Mouton, who has worked at the airport for five years, was disgruntled with management and made the remark with coworkers and passengers nearby.
Boy, do I feel safer now.....:D

Arrrrrrg... you beat me to it. Exactly what I was thinking.

How is this person a terrorist? Everyone has wanted to shoot their coworkers at some point.

I don't think so. If this is how you feel, have you considered a job with the TSA?

I agree. Thankfully, most of us never carry this to the next level and use good sense to quell our thoughts and settle our anger. When it progresses to making overt threats, that takes the inability to handle interpersonal relationships to a more dangerous level.

I think it's next to that other stamp... "This behavior does not reflect..."

Found it! :D ;)

Obviously, this random moron claimed to shoot the wrong people. If he said he was going to shoot Nude-O-Scope opt-outs, nothing would have happened to him.

Heck, one of his fellow TSA employees may have started a cheerful thread about it here on FT:

"Shoot 'em with my 45!" - backlash against protesters

:rolleyes:

If passengers at a TSA checkpoint aren't allowed to joke about shooting people, TSOs shouldn't be allowed to do so either.

True, but shooting people doesn't instantly make you a terrorist. Murdering psychopath for sure, but it takes a bit more to be a terrorist.
