MIAMI (AP) — Michael Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at Miami International Airport that contained a residue "closely associated with marijuana." Police said Thursday that no charges immediately were filed. The 26-year-old Atlanta Falcons quarterback entered an airport concourse Wednesday morning with the 20-ounce bottle. He eventually handed it over and boarded his flight to Atlanta. But his initial reluctance to turn over the bottle aroused suspicion among airport security screeners, a police report said.

Two Transportation Security Administration screeners recognized the 6-foot, 215-pound Vick.

The bottle was found to have a hidden compartment that contained "a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana," the report said. The compartment was hidden by the bottle's label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright, police said.

What an idiot. He has the physical attributes, but he doesn't have a "winner" mentality. That's the difference between Vick and Vince Young. Vince Young is a winner.

See, an intelligent person would have guzzled their bong water while standing in line.

Was he flying under his real name or using his "pen name" Ron Mexico? This guy is a real P.O.S. and will wind up in jail or in rehab soon. Nothing but a low class scumball.

Was he flying under his real name or using his "pen name" Ron Mexico?

Not sure, but I wouldn't take bets on that!

[Enterprise]

Was he flying before he was flying?

[JRios1968]

He certainly was high...

If the fool had just handed over the bottle when asked the suspicions of the security screeners wouldn't have been aroused, and there'd have been no incident.

How can anyone not know that you can't cross security with a water bottle? (And that graphic is hilarious!)

[Yo-Yo]

They're probing our security measures, man!
