I came home today and someone had replaced all of my furniture with exact duplicates.

Hey now, the city of Detroit is a fine place. It's just the ever-expanding dying ring around the city where you sure as heck don't want your car to break down. No easy feat on our crummy roads.

Of course, construction season has begun again so maybe things will get better.... yeah I didn't think so either.

And I'm flying out of Detroit into a REAL cesspool tomorrow morning... Washington D.C. (business trips, joy)

I wonder if they will test the DNA on the uniform. Uniforms are stolen much more often than the general public realizes...and I doubt the robbers are using these for Halloween.

Find a TSA uniform in your luggage?

Hello, YOU'VE BEEN DRAFTED!

Unrelated (?) incident: "suspicious pkg" spotted by TSA at Atlanta airport today.Terminal closed,passengers evacuated.

Debra Sanders' blow-dryer? *rimshot*

A lot of people collect law enforcement patches I suppose but I was surprised that eBay does not allow the trading of some Forest Service stuff but allows some of these other things that could be very helpful to a terrorist.

Hmmm....a truck full of ammo, including RPGs found on the Texas side of the Mexican border. Two men found with half million bucks in small bills in a duffle bag at a nuclear plant. A TSA uniform obviously put in a wrong bag while being passed off to someone. Something is up, big time.

Pingalingaling!

An airline passenger who arrived in Florida from New Jersey opened her suitcase and found a uniform belonging to a Transportation Security Administration officer, according to a Local 6 News report.

Police are lookibg for a TSA officer dressed in underwear.

Sanders said she hopes the incident was just a mistake by a screener but fears someone was trying to pass off the TSA uniform to someone else and put it in the wrong piece of luggage, the report said.

Judges will consider either answer to be correct

Thanks for the ping. It may have been placed in her bag with the intent that a party on the destination end would intercept and remove the uniform. Essentially treating her luggage as an inanimate "mule" to smuggle the uniform. If that was the case, the objective failed.

[Virginia-American]

I flew with my pistol, locked up and declared like required...

Glad you didn't need it.

Personally, I'd like to see people required to bring their pistols to the airport, make sure they have airline-rated ammo, issue arms to those who come unprepared.

Every flight, part of the well-regulated militia.

(Dream on.)

[TheLion]

What about someone who purports to be a police officer? Who really knows?

Anyway....I would feel safer just knowing someone like you was aboard the flight.

Thanks DC for the ping. Newark airport...color me surprised! </sarcasm>

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Well I have my badge and ID, which is exactly as much ID that the TSA screeners have.
