Last week at the Nashville airport, as my wife went to the gate to collect the Grandchildren , security seized her less than 2inch long mini Swiss Army knife and made her remove her hiking boots.

She probably fit the jihadist profile,
5’2’’
Blonde hair
Blue eyes
Dutch/German ancestry
Mid 50`s
L.L. Bean overcoat.

NO BURQUA

What a puff piece to give the TSA/government cover for getting caught with it’s pants around it’s ankles and not having an idea what to do next.

Look, when someone shows up at a ticket counter and pays (1) CASH for a (2) ONE WAY TICKET and they don’t have (3) ANY CHECKED LUGGAGE don’t you think that should set some bells ringing?

How difficult would it be to have this information harvested during the ticketing process and passed along the line to all involved with security?

I would say “send in the clowns” but they are all working for the TSA!

When you return from Ireland you go thru US Customs there before the flight rather than after you have entered the US. They should do this throughout Europe for all US bound flights - but the Military should check the baggage instead of hacks.
