PIE security problem - powder found
For those that use St Pete/Clearwater (PIE) take note:

http://www.baynews9.com/content/36/2....+Pete+Airport

A hazmat team has been called to St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport.

A powdery substance was found in the bathroom of an unoccupied airplane parked at Gate 2, near the UPS gate.

Officials say the airplane is an Allegiant craft.

C'mon, guys. CLEARLY this HAS to be Anthrax.

Because the best place a tewwowist can think of to put a pile of Anthrax is in the still, uncicrulating lavatory of an unoccupied regional jet.

Right?

Assclowns and powder: a deadly combination. Common sense, meet murder one.

The water tasted funny when I was there 50+ years ago. Guess that's not the only funny thing about Tampa.
