Yeah, but when I asked if I could slip my bong past them for $50 they thought I said "bomb" and got all testy on me.

I once got thru with one of those big novelty Bic lighters filled with fluid in my bag. Wanna know how? I put it in the giant, bright red pocket of my black carry-on bag. TSA searched and scanned the bag THREE separate times and not once, did they simply turn the bag over and look at (much less in) that big farking red pocket.

If you wanna get something past these fools, just put it in the most obvious, attention-attracting place. Hell, write "bomb goes here" on it. They'll never even raise an eyebrow.

You can always rely on government employees to take care of you.

Who would have thought you could bribe people who make less than cops?

Nothing to see here

Be sure to do a GIS for "tsa" with safe mode off... ;)

Eddie Adams from Torrance: EvilEgg: TSA is not tasked with keeping pot out. They are about keeping Transportation safe. Your beef should be with customs.

This.

FFS, It's an American kid with some reefer.. it's not like he was a Muslim baby with a nail clipper bottle of water.

Well isn't that what the TSA is for?

I feel safer.

/wow that slope sure WAS slippery

That's what you get when you pay the security people about the same as McDonald's pays to the people taking your order for a Big Mac and large fries.

I am sure that if you got creative enough you could bring down an airplaine with a bag of pot or something that looks like it to a TSA agent. Sure it would be an extremly unlikely plan, but that hasn't stopped them from confiscating shampoo and nailclippers in the past.

Besides once you have gotten an TSA agent into committing any sort of crime you can just blackmail him into helping you with other stuff. You can slowly work your way up by blackmailing and threatening to reveal past misdeeds. That is a classic strategy. Help me with this greater crime or I will reveal that you helped me with that other lesser crime. You probably can't go directly from smuggling pot to smuggling bombs with most people, but some steps between and you should be good.

Unless you can hijack a plane with 18 lbs of weed, I don't care.

Glad to know that TSA screeners are now considered "public officials".


LOL

The free market wins again.

Gyrfalcon: If the pilot is too stoned to notice if he's flying into a building? Then would you care?

Only if he doesn't share!

Just kidding. I don't smoke - like I really need to get more lethargic and eat more.

/Gotta go, have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

Why bribe? Just dress like you're from the Middle East, and they'll let you right through with few if any searches & questions.

How much to have some guy NOT fondle my junk? Or alternately have attractive woman fondle an my junk?

Would it help if they gave you a hot pr0n magazine to look at while they do the poke-and-prod?

It couldn't hurt!

My airport police recently seized about 50lbs of pot only because a bag went unclaimed for 5 days and was about to be shipped off to a holding facility. Ironically, the bag had already passed TSA inspection twice before somebody noticed the bag looked like it was packed full of empty boxes. No chain of custody, so no arrests.

/boxes were covered with Christmas wrapping paper
//bag had owners ID and money order receipts for approximate value of the weed in the bag too

Indeed, mesh athletic bags also work rather well.

So how's that war on drugs/terrorism going, meat head?

Millage Peaks.

Arrest him for that name.
