*MUTH'S TRUTHS*
*Another Colossal TSA Embarrassment
*By Chuck Muth
April 20, 2009
The Boston Globe reported yesterday that only because of an inadvertent
mistake by baggage handlers in Boston that it was discovered that the
following items in a checked suitcase got past cracker-jack TSA *(Thousands
Standing Around)* agents in Las Vegas earlier in the morning:
*“A locked handgun box containing a semi-automatic handgun, a fully loaded
gun magazine, several boxes of 9 mm and 7.62 mm ammunition, three model
rocket engines containing an explosive mixture, military pull-type fuses,
switches, electronics kit boxes with various components, and a hand grenade
fuse assembly with detonator.”*
A 22-year-old Marine from North Carolina *(whom I’d bet had no “right-wing”
malicious intent and simply forgot to declare the contents of his bag at the
airport)* was arrested and charged with “possession of an infernal
machine *(“infernal
machine?”)* and possession of a concealed weapon in a secure area of an
airport.”
Hmmm. That reminds me. . . .
As you may or may not know, I moved back to Las Vegas from Carson
Cityearlier this month
*(got a GREAT deal on a foreclosed home!)*. And my girls had a
nine-year-old friend fly down from Reno last week for a visit during his
Easter break *(known now, of course, as spring break in public schools)*.
As a minor traveling alone, I had to escort the boy to the gate at the Las
Vegas airport on Friday for his return flight home. And darned if he wasn’t
jerked out of line after something “suspicious was detected by the TSA
screener at the “Papers, please” security checkpoint.
Turns out his tube of toothpaste, packed in a government-approved clear
plastic bag - which was missed by the crack TSA agents in Reno on his trip
down to Vegas - was too big. And yes, they confiscated it.
How in the world are we ever going to rid ourselves of these idiots and this
hugely expensive insult and assault on our freedoms? Thanks a lot,
President Bush and congressional Republicans.
