I have a Penn State one.
Oh shit.
She lived, her husband lived, her pets lived, and her children got firsthand experience that will automatically negate all of the state's efforts to inculcate in them the idea that they're the good guys.
Four more people will never again believe that they're there to protect us.
I'm sorry she had to go through this, but nobody died, and a bunch of people see the truth now and may support meaningful action, like abolishment. I call that a win.
(Liz Klimas) To date, 375,432,402 passengers have traveled through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints. Of those shuffling through security, TSA has collected a number of nefarious items on the bodies of passengers or in their checked baggage and has been detailing them in its blog.
Here are some stats for some of the contraband caught by TSA since January:
- Firearms: Of the 821 firearms found by TSA this year, 691 were loaded and 210 were locked and loaded. The most popular location for gun confiscation of the 160 airports where they were identified this year is Atlanta, with 56 found thus far.
- Most popular gun: The .380 has been found 197 times.
- Most unusual concealment effort: A passenger from Portland tried to hide a pistol in a potted plant. Another passenger disassembled a gun and its ammo and tried to get it past TSA in three stuffed animals.
- Live explosives: 40mm high explosive grenade; electrical tape-wrapped bottled with flash power inside and three M-80 fireworks; viable cannonball. TSA also reports finding a slew of “interesting inert items.”
- Other strange items: bear mace, walker with mounted knife, chainsaw, grenade launcher and a chastity belt
- (to be clear, TSA notes the chastity belt was just detected, not confiscated, as they are not banned).
I agree with you, but that is harder than you may be able to imagine with 2 toddlers along for the ride. It's constant chaos.
Oh and yes she's suing, there's already a pool for legal fund donations going.
She was fingerprinted on the spot and charged with disorderly conduct and obstructing justice. Court date next month, waiting on the date and time.
Tip from a CIA Operations Directorate guy - make counter surveillance into a children's game you kids can play.
Reward who can spot the most people talking on a radio during the day.
Who can spot the same people the most number of times during the day.
Who can be the first to spot a vehicle with official government license plates.
Kids like to play games.
That's work great when they're older--seriously a good idea. Not trying to be snarky, but there's only so much you can push when they're that young.
I'd actually like to encourage even more "games" like that, like spotting cop cars, etc.
Pregnant women, and women with small children are the most vulnerable targets there are.

Mine says "Boca." That sounds like gangsta a little, right?I have a Penn State one.
Oh shit.
As soon as you get a link, please post it! I'm in.
One thing to keep in mind is that court rulings are mostly based on precedent. If we can hammer a few of these bullies with badges hard - real hard - and start making mayors and city managers start worrying about losing their discretionary funds to lawsuits, we might - just maybe, possibly - see some policy changes.
What kind of savage animals treats a mother in front of their children in this manner.
I do not agree with the treatment and the cavity search is rape, but this is an example of how not to draw the wrong attention to yourself. If you are going to wear a hoodie like a gangster you risk being treated like one in society.
I am not saying it is right, but maybe if she dressed like a lady they would have treated her like one or not. Regardless she did not deserve what happened to her.
LOL. The most neg rep I received in one post than all of the 6 years posting combined because of the lack of reading comprehension or lack critical thinking on the part of the negative reppers. I think it is pretty clear from the above post I do not agree with what happened to her.
Taking my words out of context, what is this MSNBC. Good luck living your life spouting your MSNBC talking points you clowns but it does not change the reality of the world we live in. People stereotype and people profile.
If Trayvon did not look like he was going to rob a liquor store with the hoodie do you really think Zimmerman would have followed him? Don't fault me for the nature of people.
Same as this woman. Not saying she did anything wrong but to keep your children safe from the police thugs, dressing up like a gangster may attract people that are going to treat you like one.
