Do they get credit for this? This is what maintenance people call a self-indicating failure.

Hmmmmm.... perhaps this is a visible depiction of how hugely successful the TSA has been with intimidating "tewwowists" from bringing "not allowed" materials to the checkpoint.

Hmmmmmm......

Nah, just another example of how much "bad stuff" the TSA misses...couldn't even find any this week.

Still crickets and I'm wondering if they've changed the links as I go to the last link and then look for the list of updates on the right side of the page but all i see for the latest entry in July is July 7 "Have a question? Now you can Ask TSA on Facebook"
