Nine airline employees at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport were arrested about a year ago for plotting to smuggle drugs out of the airport. Since then, they’ve admitted to being willing to smuggle anything on board a commercial airline for money including drugs, weapons and plastic explosives.

The nine employees included a baggage scanner, baggage handler and other employees who could monitor bags being placed on and off Spirit Airlines and Envoy Air aircrafts. A tenth employee involved in the ring is a fugitive.

Another reason never to check in luggage.

I fit everything I need on a carryon.

I think a good sausage could be made from them, which pigs could enjoy.

They were willing to smuggle plastic explosives onto an airplane?

Maybe they need a demonstration of how plastic explosives work.

They could put some around their necks and set it off.

I’d be willing to set it off.

They were willing to knowingly kill people. People who never did anything to them.

I used to laugh at people who talked about communism coming to America.

The communists say they can’t really get started until 3% of the population are communists.

That’s about ten million people in this country.

There aren’t that many throat-cutters on our college campuses.

But.....they are importing the throat cutters.

From the pictures, it’s pretty obvious what the lesson is here. Don’t trust baggage handlers who aren’t wearing glasses.

From Dreamers to Schemers. Meanwhile back at the TSA x ray scanners little grannies in wheelchairs get the frisk over treatments. That’s after the little muzzie women in head veils check over their boarding passes.

Last time I was at DFW the TSA had a random search setup at one of the employee entrances into the terminal.

They probably only searched the white employees.

Willing to allow plastic explosives to be smuggled on a commercial airliner for cash? This should be a death-penalty offense, let’s broadcast the hangings on closed-circuit TV to every TSA airport station throughout the country.

There is no mention whatsoever as to whether any or all of them are actually citizens. How many are illegals bootlegging on a false SSA number? Why doesn’t the lazy media bother to find out? Can we all guess?

The last time I flew, security stopped me. They told me I couldn’t bring the dead buzzard on the plane.

I told them it was carrion.

I don’t bother with flying since I have nowhere to really go.

The 50s OTR show “I Was A Communist For The FBI” was ahead of its time.

I started to post, “Just the tip of an iceberg!”

However, that description might not be appropriate here.

Looks like they all go to the same barber so having a jailhouse cut should be no big deal for these losers.
