Weird TSA Worker plants bag of white powder on Passenger as a Joke

[The Helper]

In the tense new world of air travel, we're stripped of shoes, told not to take too much shampoo on board, frowned on if we crack a smile.

The last thing we expect is a joke from a Transportation Security Administration screener - particularly one this stupid.

Rebecca Solomon is 22 and a student at the University of Michigan, and on Jan. 5 she was flying back to school after holiday break. She made sure she arrived at Philadelphia International Airport 90 minutes before takeoff, given the new regulations.

She would be flying into Detroit on Northwest Airlines, the same city and carrier involved in the attempted bombing on Christmas, just 10 days before. She was tense.

Wow. Dick move.

 

[Varine]

I thought it was kinda funny.

 

[Avaleirra]

I did too. I just feel a bit of sympathy for the person.

I don't. I just thought it was kind of funny. Unprofessional or not, bursting up into tears over something like that seems like far too much of an overreaction.

 

[Varine]

I would understand her going into tears if he continued to do it, but I mean... if he stopped and said "Haha just kidding! Now see, TSA Trainee, this is how it's done," I would go "haha, you're a fucking prick mista TSA worker. I want a free plane ticket."

The article is gone?

 

[Varine]

Still there for me. Girl is kinda cute.

Women are sensitive and that kind of stuff if they are stressed out or already nervous about flying can really screw someone up. Guys can take it alot better.

Yeah, but just think for a moment; if she had been arrested there was the potential for her whole life to be completely and utterly fucked up. That is the sort of thing that would have been going through her mind. I'm pretty sure that, even if you didn't burst into tears, you'd have a pretty strong reaction.

 

[Matemeo]

I'd be pretty pissed. It's not something you mess around with, though her reaction might have been a bit strong.

 

[FireCat]

That wasn't funny

It's not something you mess around with.

Yeah, I agree with you.

I'd miss my flight from standing there, screaming at anyone and everyone until that man was fired.

A drug conviction can stay on your record, even if you're found inncocent. Any conviction can, really, unless they SAY they're going to remove the instance from your record. But that doesn't always happen.

The woman was probably thinking that her entire life woud be overshadowed by this one time where she was suspected of trafficing/dealing/taking drugs. Meaning that could be referenced at ANY TIME. From her school, any job opportunities, buying a home or car... Anything.

It said what was going through her mind, and both of the thoughts were it's not hers.

That was a good one - dick move - but ultimately some funny stuff!
