Tyranny. O-tay 'Panky!
Also this CITIZEN gets a felony record, plus a fine ??? Wonder if this will also affect her job ??
"This is not the way my country should be treating me," she said. My concern is that if that's the way they're treating American citizens I would hate to think how they're treating other people.
Oh, *they're* treating *other people* quite well, esp. if they are *only* foreigners just sneaking across our borders. These people simply *promise* to come to court, & they are set free.
I feel *so* much safer now.
We have here a middle-school principal complaining about a zero-tolerance policy.
What are the odds that if one of her older students brought something deemed to be a prohibited item, he'd be suspended, and she'd likely be the first to defend their zero-tolerance policy?
Well, maybe at least she'll think twice the next time she suspends some 1st grader for drawing a picture of a knife or gun.
This will also disallow her from owning a firearm.
"Unbelivable"...yup sure is.....and I dont........the knife was "art-fully concealed".
Not cool
Did I stutter?
I agree with you. I spend a lot of time flying from place to place and I have just about had it with rude, lazy, and overbearing TSA workers.
They seem to think that we're doing them a favor by flying.
Jerks
I'm guessing she embellished this story a bit but never underestimate the cluelessness of a minimum wage security guard.
Oh, zero-tolerance might work very good on our borders, but *of course* no one even wants to try it there.
Oh, I'm sure the real terrorist types are being treated just fine. Probably lots of them walked right past when you were being interrogated and harassed.Got to be careful not to offend any swarthy type foreigners and/or illegals you know.
Crazy? Nah. It's just that it's hard to see, let alone think clearly, when one's head is wedged that far up his/her posterior.
Not really a prerequisite, but it helps.
A friend of mine, a college graduate with multiple degrees, a conservative, and an ex-Ranger, who was fed up with the job market found employment at the TSA.
He's certainly not brain-dead- but he does shake his head at some of the policies they've put in place.
13.80 - 15.00 +- is not minimum wage
Why not?
Hmmm... NY Congressman Maurice Hinchey flies into DC with a pistol in his carry-on and gets a pass, but this lady gets caught with a serrated knife and is a terrorist? It speaks wonders to the idiocy of certain policies.
Yes, she broke the rules. Yes, there should be some repercussions for that. But there should be limits to the stupidity.
You mean like this?

And we need to remind TSA and the airlines that we have the authority to never buy a plane ticket again.
I haven't flown since 9/11 and it has nothing to do with terrorists, and everything to do with not wanting my wife or four year old daughter grope searched by TSA lesbians.
Sure will, 'cause you know ALL out laws/fines are enforced against CITIZENS.
