Newest threat to aviation security contained: Coolio
Coolio busted for having crack at LAX during screening.

Another victory in protecting the traveling public from terrorists.


For the pop culture-challenged.

Shocking...

Coolio was such a role model for so many of the folks still living in the 90s.

Ciao,

Screeners are not police correct? I assume they reported it to the local authorities no?

I would presume, as that is the policy noted here on FT by some TSA "members". The article also notes Coolio got rough with one of the persons there. Not sure if it was TSA or LEO.

Coolio=Tools T. McTool

He's an a**. His kids used to live across the street from me with their mother and he was just a PITA. Once when he came to visit, he parked on the wrong side of the street headed in the wrong direction, and the local sheriff patrol came over to ticket him, found a baggie of green leafy substance and a gun. His Hummer got towed.

This does not surprise me at all. He was taken to Van Nuys and booked, posted bail and released.

Must have been a slow day at T1.

Wow I used to watch this guy rap on Nickelodeon. I guess things haven't been the same since Gangstas Paradise.

Now if only the TSA could catch the elusive Ozzy Osborn....

He likes Air Canada. Sharon keeps him on a short leash. Last time I saw him he looked awake. Well known at LAX T2 for talking to random people as he walks.

How about this, another idiot who should have known better off the streets. Given his public image as a known drug user you would think he is smart enough to realize his luggage has a a chance of being searched.
