Fun with TSOs
 

I will need to fly soon, unfortunately it is a short turn around trip so I can't risk fighting about IDs. I feel bad about that and one of my co-workers has already guilt tripped me about it.

Instead I figured I would have a bit of fun with the TSOs or "provoke" them if you will.

Any ideas would be appreciated, let your imaginations run wild.

Wear a pair of shoes you can part with and if they do a "voluntary" gate check of your shoes hand them over and walk away. Just have a back up pair in your bag. Same thing applies if they do a magic paper test of your drink, hand it to them and walk away.

Either way they will be to confused to know what they are supposed to do next.

Take an invisible dog with you :)

You are too funny. So, you are going to up the ante huh? ^

BTW, I got my t-shirt and I love it. It's still very cold here, but I will be wearing it ASAP. :)

Oh don't do that; procedures state I a pax walks away from their property while it is being screened, summon a LEO. As TK said he can't risk thetime I wouldn't suggest this.

If you want to have fun, uh, keep telling them you don't understand when/if they ask you to do something. I'm nt saying argue, just play like your really really stupid and make 'em spell it out for you. But show that your more than willing to comply, once you "understand". ;) that's what I would do.

But it might piss off those behind you, no matter what you do.

Rats, I thought it would be considered voluntarily surrendering an item.

Hmmm, get a big gulp cup and fill it with sudsy water and bring it through the checkpoint sans lid.

Just how math challenged are they?
 

At little risk of missing your flight, find out the answer to one of the burning questions of our time. ;)

Take a plain 1 oz plastic bottle and fill it with water. Print a homemade label for it "Contents: Five US Gallons". Have it as the lone occupant of your Freedom Baggie and play dumb. Pull it out and ask the TSO: "This is over your advertised 3 oz limit. Can I still carry it on?" :D

Nipple rings?
Fake FAM uniform?
35W soldering iron?
Big Gulp cup with "I am too Britney Spears!" written on the outside?

I'd suggest a suitable t-shirt but guess you've already thought of that. ;)

I assume you're flying from Florida. If you get a patdown (and anyone reading this board knows a dozen ways to arrange that), wait until the appropriate moment and then say loudly, "No, I don't want to be your sex slave!" (Worth double points at MCO.)

But I like Flaflyer's idea better. :D

-Bring a bag of kitchen refuse as a "carry on" with enough in it to force a search

-pretend your deaf (having witnessed this for real (yay local deaf university!) its often hysterical to watch the game of charades that follows

-Breakaway bottle (stage craft) full of water that gets 'dropped' when you go to throw it out

-run a well disguised baby doll in a baby car seat through the xray machine

-ask for everyones name...everyone

-stare at the TDC...just stare...for a long time

-be offensively, disconcertingly, personal space violatingly friendly. Loudly. To everyone.

-beg and plead for the WBI...then pose.

-Lego Gun (www.instructables.com/id/Lego-Gun)

Get selected for a secondary screening.... make sexual noises.

Take 3.4 oz of something like sugar.

Label it dehydrated water with an offical looking label and instructions to use just add water.

Ask if it needs to placed in the freedom baggie.

LOL

How about having several small boxes of rocks to award deserving TSA employees.

Nothing to heavy, more like aquarium pea gravel.

And don't forget that this is the perfect time to get rid of used motor oil, paint cans or other hard-to-dispose-of large liquids. ;)
