TSA at it again
Florida teen detained by TSA for design on her purse
I wonder how long it took for them to figure out it wasn't a real gun, OR a "replica" gun? Common sense must be something they look for in applicants, and then eliminate them from the hiring process if they find it.Jiu-Jitsu - like chess, except you get to choke people.

What the hell? What happened to the kinder, gentler TSA?? that means they abuse the young and elderly I guess. Why aren't they subject to state laws???
