He was hungry
Where oh where does TSA get all these bloomin’ IDIOTS they hire??? Is that part of the job description???
Some cupcakes do have plastique filling. Like DingDongs.
Who’s kidding who. The fat slob wanted a cupcake to eat so he stole hers. End of story.
She pulled aside the TSA agent and said the agent’s brain was “gel-like” enough to constitute a security risk.
There. Now they’re even.
What about fresh fruit?
Gives a new meaning to cupcake wars.
Gel-like icing? That’s all? I thought maybe it was decorated with a miniature hard-sugar AK 47, or something really scary like a gummy worm in the shape of a samurai sword ....
I just returned from Hong Kong, where they did do a manual check of all carryon luggage. I don’t remember that from my last trip to China. Didn’t have to take off our shoes until San Francisco, however. So we got off an international flight where we had already been screened, walked through immigration and customs, and then had to clear security again to reboard. Go figure.
When airport security was nationalized way back in ole’ 2001, this is what they were talking about.
simulated security. make citizens inconvenienced to scare those who are not scared.
An overweight woman with 3 muffintops resembling “pat” is not going to enchance the security.
The worst was when I had a gout attack during a visit and had forgotten my medication. When time came to leave my left big toe was so swollen I couldn't wear a regular shoe. I put on a loose-fitting slipper instead.
While waiting for our flight we were seated opposite the TSA area and I noticed they were very interested in me as I hobbled around. When time came to board I was pulled out of line immediately for a "special inspection." I explained the situation but was ordered to remove both the slipper and my sock. They went over both with minute care, almost determined to find some kind of "slipper explosive." During all that my poor swollen toe was practically glowing red for any fool to see.
TSA is an idiotic bureaucracy and if the Rats get away with unionizing it, it'll be with us in increasingly oppressive form forever.
By the time this happened, that poor multi-day-old cupcake must have been pretty beat up and the frosting may in fact have looked pretty gummy and gel-like. It is un-American to let a fresh cupcake survive uneaten for more than a couple hours.
The TSA thugs should wear KKK hoods because either way they always seem to remain anonymous, story after story.
Always get their names if it’s the last thing you do.
Everyone’s so amused. Laughing all the way to the cattle cars.
And some say rebellion is brewing. Hell, there isn’t even a halfassed boycott brewing.
If it had been a fruit cake the whole airport would have been shut down.
Now, if it had been fruitcake, who could blame the guy?
I would have just licked off the frosting.
