stopped by TSA for irony

Post by nickfil »

a buddy of mine was detained and intensively questioned by the Transportation Security Administration for carrying a script for an upcoming comic book about a writer who is detained and intensively questioned by the TSA for writing a comic about 'terrorism' in a police state.

Honest to god.

Unthinkable is a good book, and that is hilarious... well maybe not for him: "I was subjected to not one, but two invasive searches of my person and belongings."

man those guards are dumb. even if he WAS a terrorist, would he freaking be holding, a notebook with all their plans, inside an airport, with so much security? maybe when he imports some bombs to blow up the white house, he'll also pass them through customs

I get so sick of the TSA. Every time I try to fly I have to check in at the counter (can't do it online) because someone with a name similar to mine is in the no-fly list. The kicker is the person they want is a female.

Throw that on top of the fact about 90% of the time they take my bags aside and rummage through them. Maybe I just naturally look suspicious.

If I saw an anthropomorphic star walking around the airport I'd be suspicious too.

Transporting terrorist plans in the form of a comic book. Genius.

The thing is, nobody seemed to mind that I was headbutting things and swinging wildly from any pole I could find trying to get the high score before entering the plane.

At least you can give the TSA credit for not profiling me... lol
