JFK passenger detained by TSA after talking about ‘bomb’ sandwich

Posted on by

“Airport officials detained a traveler who mentioned an explosive device at JFK — only to discover he was actually talking about food referred to as The Bomb, TSA sources said.  Jason Michael Cruz, 29, was on an escalator in Terminal 7 Thursday when a TSA officer overheard him tell a friend he ‘had the wrong kind of bomb’ just after 1 p.m. Officials ushered Cruz and his friend, Matthew Okumoto, to a holding area, where they learned the pair was talking about a sandwich called The Bomb, airport officials said.  TSA officers held the pair until airport cops arrived, causing Cruz to miss his Los Angeles-bound flight.”

Shocking the Gate-Rapists

Posted on by

“Three engineers in India have come up with something that ought to wallop the TSA’s deviants into better behavior: they’ve ‘invented a set of electrified underwear to help prevent rape.’ No doubt they meant the unofficial sort, but heck, this should work on federal gate-rapists, too. ‘The underwear, called Society Harnessing Equipment (SHE), deploys a 3,800kV charge to anyone touching the outside of the underwear while protecting the wearer with a polymer lining.  A person trying to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure sensors get activated…,'”

Twice-fired TSA manager gets his job back AGAIN after judge rules he was unfairly sacked

Posted on by

“A Transportation Security Authority baggage-checking manager has got his job back a second time after he was unfairly fired twice.  Raymond Ware and 35 other TSA employees were let go from Honolulu International Airport in 2011 after an investigation revealed that for several months, some officers failed to hand-screen checked baggage for explosives.  But Ware challenged the dismissal, and has become the fourth TSA manager to win a settlement or successfully challenge his firing after the baggage-checking scandal.”

TSA officer hits six colleagues after mistaking pepper spray for laser pointer

Posted on by

“Six security officers at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport landed in hospital after being hit by pepper spray — fired by one of their own.  According to a report in the New York Post, quoting an unnamed source, an agent was ‘playing around’ with what he and other agents thought was just a laser pointer when it suddenly emitted spray.  The TSA has suffered a series of embarrassing recent news reports, ranging from failure at Newark International Airport to detect a fake bomb carried by an undercover government agent, to complaints of overzealous searches.”

Beware Of All Enterprises That Require New Clothes

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“Despite sequestration and Big Sister’s threats that the reduced growth of the TSA’s budget — not its actual operating one — will delay passengers in hours’-long lines, the agency signed a $50-million contract with VF Imagewear for uniforms. Yes, those ugly, neon brown-sorry, blue polyester shirts that the thugs at the checkpoint wear cost a pretty penny. But this is old news. I’m bothering you with it because VF Imagewear is ‘better known for its Lee and Wrangler brand jeans.’ Additional lines include ‘Vanity Fair®, … The North Face®, and JanSport®.'”

‘Poet climber’ sidesteps security and scales U.S. embassy in Paris

Posted on by

“A self-styled ‘poet climber’ on Thursday managed to sidestep security and climb on to the roof of the US Embassy building in Paris.  Herve Couasnon, whose previous stunts have included sneaking into France’s National Assembly and a nuclear power station, told AFP by phone from the roof that he wanted to meet Barack Obama, give the president his CV and talk peace — a reference to Obama’s ongoing Middle East trip.”

Airport security set for boom despite budget cuts

Posted on by

“The airport security sector is still expected to soar despite US budget cutbacks as air traffic grows and the threat of terrorism persists, analysts say.  Screening passengers and baggage as well as surveillance at airports is a business that has boomed as countries radically tightened security in the wake of the September 11 attacks.  In addition to new types of screening equipment, the drive to better target screening by use of information on travellers available to border control agencies will rely heavily on technology and data gathering.”

Former Newark Airport TSA screener says the job does little to keep fliers safe

Posted on by

“It is perhaps America’s most unsafe airport. Despite being the launching point for one of the planes hijacked on 9/11 — Flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania — Newark Airport has had numerous security violations since. The latest: a fake bomb that made it past Transportation Security Administration officers. Here, a Newark TSA screener who recently left the agency tells how silly policies and lazy workers do little to stop real threats.”

Undercover agent sneaks past TSA at Newark Airport with ‘bomb’ in pants

Posted on by

“Despite undergoing a pat-down search, a federal agent was able to sneak past Transportation Security Administration agents at Newark Airport last month with a simulated explosive device in his pant, an unnamed source told The New York Post.  ‘This episode once again demonstrates how Newark Airport is the Ground Zero of TSA failures,’ the source reportedly said.   The TSA did not confirm whether the incident took place, telling the Post that it ‘regularly conducts covert testing’ of security and does not disclose details about those operations.”
