I want a pony.

A lot of smart people have no common sense.

You have to ask John Edwards for one.

[massgopguy]

She doesn’t have any peers. Just ask her.

Actually, you can buy hats and other items that are LED billboards. But she must have been clutching that rose pretty tight to turn it into a blob of clay. Furthermore, I thought only ticketed passengers were allowed to clear security, not someone greeting an arriving passenger. Still sounds like a contrived excuse to me. Clever, though.

In post 9-11 America that crap just isn't funny...

[Comstock1]

I think that the charge against her is inappropriate, but then again, they don’t have a charge against stupid.

Should get down on her knees every morning and thank whatever goddess she believes in that she isn’t worm food.

Which reminds me of something:

I’ll be making a leather jacket with a few pounds of Christmas tube lighting, powered by a battery. I guess it would be safe to say there’s no way I’d get that passed Customs? Even if I were to take it out at Check In, show it to the supervisor, turn it on, lock it in my baggage and put the key away right in front of them? Then after that, there’s whatever countries in Europe I have to go through.

I was telling NonValue that he has to ask John Edwards for a pony.

[tioga]

Boo-hoo. She should have thought this through first.

Massachusetts has the unique de novo rule, where you can request a trial by judge and if you don't like the results demand a trial by jury. Other jurisdictions, it's either or, not both sequentially.

State Police cudda saved us all this expense with one little squeeze of the trigger.

Ship it. Declare the contents. Insure the package.

[Rummyfan]

They should have just shot her and been done with it.....

[raccoonradio]

Exactly—and btw “techies” and performance artists
are defending her actions, from a quick web search I
did (one said she bought a T-shirt of some sort
for the Star Simpson legal defense fund. D’oh!)

[2banana]

She is guilty of being an idiot and, unfortunately, there is no cure (I would sentence her to 30 days of listening to Rush and having to write a summary at the end of each day)...

[wastedyears]

If there’s a FedEx Kinko’s at European airports with employees that speak English, then it sounds like a plan.

Thanks

This bimbo should do some jail time, people like this have zero common sense and they tend to get away with a lot of things. This is a post 9-11 event and IMO she’s lucky she’s still alive, some cop could have gone off and shot this twit, we’ve had a couple of incidents like this and all the idiots have gotten off without any kind of punishment.

A lot of smart people have no common sense.

Neither do many police or TSA employees. The police are flat out wrong in this case, and should all be fired.
