You got to remember that most of the dumbells in this country thinks a bomb looks like a bowling ball with a fuse hanging out.

IF this woman was a “bomb trainer” going to an abortion clinic, she probably has some sort of Fed grant stealing taxpayers’ money. This smells fishy on many levels. The government spokespeople wouldn’t lie to the Citizens, would they?

Wouldn’t it be easier for the Woman to buy a couple of Road Flares and an Egg Timer when she arrives at her Destination?

Does Walmart or Target have Abortion Clinics yet? It would save her some time.

They took a pair of nail clippers from me once.

One time they took a little tiny Swiss knife from my husband and the only way he could keep it as if they broke the blade off. However I had two in my purse they missed! I told them that and showed them and they were not amused. I had to mail them home.

Is the first time the TSA ever caught a terrorist?

No. Their record is still perfect.

It’s a clock. The dynamite used as an alarm. She’s a heavy sleeper.

I used to support DoD’s counter IED effort, I frequently handled explosives and frequently had strange things in my carry on. The explosive sniffers usually alerted which would wake up the TSA Agents. I carried a letter, phone numbers and credentials for these occasions. Usually a phone call or email got it sorted out, it was never really a problem.
