She WASN'T arrested??????? WTH???????
The were for a conference. Probably didn’t have any boom boom in them.
Ya, I wondered that too. Why wasn’t she arrested???
This sends a giant welcome sign out for anyone up to no good, doesn’t it? If you get caught, they will let you go??? Where’s the risk of certain punishment and legal trouble, if you are simply allowed to get on a later flight?????
Now see, if you give your kid a homemade turkey sandwich to take to school it's a crime, but if you're a paid TSA flunky sent out to generate a headline in an attempt to justify the continued waste of taxpayer for these mall cop wannabees, well, you collect your check and go on your way.
Yeah, they arrest people for forgetting they have a hand gun in their bag, but they release a woman intentionally tying to bring mines on a plane?
I can only guess she packed them but asked if she was allowed to check bags with them in them before they found them? In that case she really did not try to check mines, but rather had them and inquired if should could check them. And maybe she is some kind of specialist who has a license for such weapons. That is the only explanation I could come up with?
