TSA Plays Joke On Traveller At Screening

An anonymous reader writes "As a 22-year-old female student at the University of Michigan went through security at Philadelphia International Airport, a TSA worker was staring at her. He motioned her toward him. Then he pulled a small, clear plastic bag from her carry-on — the sort of baggie that a pair of earrings might come in. Inside the bag was fine, white powder. Answer truthfully, the TSA worker informed her, and everything will be OK. After 20 seconds of crying, the TSA agent waved the baggie. It was his, and it was all a joke. Ann Davis, a TSA spokeswoman, said this afternoon that the worker is no longer employed by the agency as of today. She said privacy laws prevented her from saying if he was fired or left on his own."

The Shampoo Bottle is half fool

What an idiot. This TSA worker lost one of the most fun jobs any wanna-be cop or control freak would ever dream of having. It's the TSA's loss, and Best Buy's gain.

I have nothing to hide why are you looking

For all of you who insist that "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" I truly hope this happens to you every damn time you fly.
