And, damn it, TSA is proud of that.
They already said they did nothing wrong by, essentially, strip-searching a dying grandmother.
Now, just a few days later, some petty Nigerian loser, who was found with a number of boarding passes on his person — none of whom, of course, was him — somehow managed to pierce SIX LEVELS of TSA security and take a nice, leisurely, stinky jet ride on Virgin America airways on Flight 415 and, once down — THEY LET HIM GO.
Why? Because the TSA was incompetent, afraid, quivering, and the man was a young black.
From the LA Times:
Another tear in the airport security net
Federal authorities and Virgin America are trying to explain how Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi was able to get through layers of airport security — and then avoid arrest for five days after officials discovered he was a stowaway.
Virgin America Flight 415 from New York to Los Angeles was already two hours into its journey when some passengers in the upscale “Main Cabin Select” section complained that the man seated in 3E reeked of body odor.
A flight attendant asked Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi for his boarding pass and was surprised to see it was from a different fight and in someone else’s name. She alerted authorities, and Noibi went back to sleep in his black leather airline seat. When the plane landed, authorities chose not to arrest Noibi, allowing him to leave the airport.
So, of course, because he got away with it the first time, he tried it a second time. No shock there.
Bear witness, ladies and gentlemen, to the complete unraveling of a once-great and civilized society known as the United States of America, now helmed by witless incompetents on all levels, from Janet Napolitano up to Barack Hussein Obama.
I reiterate, you cretins, arrogant bastards and bastardettes: how the hell do you ever sleep at night?

The TSA is a joke — a dangerous one.
I’m sick and tired of so much that I read these days on the web! What absolutely infuriates me is the mainstream media brushes these stories of dangerous incompetence under the rug. Just who the hell do the Dems call “Racists!” when clearly this Democratic regime if racially prejudiced?
Seems like we’re on the same page today..
The TSA, and everyone that works for them, are exactly as you describe them, or worse..
BTW +1… No BD means your rankings rise rapidly… 🙂
Seems most of their training comes from the 3 day irony seminar. That’s where they learn the selective screening process.

The AFGE reinforces the lesson with soft target selection to fill quotas without confrontation.
Check all Google immages on TSA and find one, one photo where a questionable person is being x-rayed or groped.
Sigh… It’s just getting worse and worse… They might have ‘upset’ some people if they’d arrested this turd.
The more I read and hear about the TSA the more I am reminded of that one scene in the movie “Airplane”. The one where hijackers are going through security with guns, bombs, etc. They are just about that competent.
Otis: first, thanks for visiting and thanks for taking the time to comment. Also reminds me of the Husqvarna chain saw commercial where the guy manages to take the chainsaw completely through security and onto his seat in the plane.
As effective.

I put my loose change in a baggie before going to TSA Security. This morning at Ft Myers, FL., I forgot to put the change into a bucket. Walked right through the metal detector with about $2.00 in loose change in my pocket. Didn’t hear anyone else set of an alarm while I was in the area. Bet the metal detector was turned off and TSA was just going through the motions.
On a related note, that is a nice terminal; clean, bright, well laid out. Of course, Delta was their usual C.F.
So, what if that loose change had been a razor-sharp SPYDERCO like I usually carry in my pocket? Only kept in the pocket of a Nigerian, an Indonesian, a Middle Eastern young man?

Want to bring weapons into the “secure” area? Fast food workers, cargo handlers, flight crew or a TSA employee. Minimal screening, if any. Background check, security badge, whatever. At DIA “undocumented immigrants” were working in the concourses.
Too much bullshit, too much political correctness, too much wasted time that drags down the economy. Watch the business travelers on their laptops trying to get some productivity out of their travel time.
