The fake passports/cash should put up red flags, especially at an airport. They should've waterboarded that sucker on the spot, to make sure there were no terrorists at his destination waiting for 'em.
The Ron Paul campaigner should have been released immediately....and after he accounts for and pulls down all the signs he's put up, they should give him back his lockbox.
They’re equated because the reaction by TSA was equal: nothing to do with airline security. Maybe the guy with multiple passports should have been screened further for being a possible threat thanks to the “red flag” of the passportS, but - they didn’t! It’s not TSA’s business to know, care, or do anything about anything not related to that airplane getting to its destination safely & on-time. TSA is not FBI, DEA, IRS, ATF, or any other TLA.
