Way to Go TSA … Stun Gun Found Abord JetBlue Plane that Landed at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport from Boston’s Logan Airport

 

Things that make you go, hmm.

The TSA has egg on their face as a stun gun was found aboard a JetBlue plane at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport. The weapon was found after the plane had landed in Newark, flight 1179 that departed from Boston’s Logan International Airport.

The crew discovered what they deemed to be a suspicious object in a seatback pocket while cleaning the plane. So how did the TSA miss this during the screening process? I guess they were too busy fondling little boys and girls and making elderly grandma’s with cancer remove their diapers in the name of security.

Authorities are trying to determine how a stun gun got aboard a JetBlue plane that landed at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport.

The crew was cleaning up after the 10:20 p.m. flight arrived from Boston on Friday and found the stun gun tucked into the back of a seat.

Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman tells The Star-Ledger of Newark it’s not clear who the weapon belonged to or how it got on the plane. Coleman says there’s no indication the weapon had been fired.

Port Authority police turned the stun gun over to the Transportation Security Administration. Why, to provide an example to the TSA of what they should actually be screening for?

      There are at least three things that would come into play with this find.

      1. Where did the aircraft fly during the filght day?

      2. Why are the aircraft allowed to load passengers without a security check at each airport?

      3. Why are aircraft turned over to a cleanup crew prior to a security check?

      There are more, but with the idiots running TSA, they are not likly to be addressed.

      Anyone with a little common sense could do a better job than the TSA. Government runamok.

      Bet it was the 95 year old lady or the 6 year old kid.

      Oh, or maybe it was the guy who got his IPad stolen by TSA!

      [...] down was done in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. These folks can’t seem to figure out how a stun gun gets aboard an airplane, but some how manages to give the old once aver to a former Secretary of Defense. I feel safe. [...]

      As a TSA employee, I want to say that anybody who think we molest children and old people, etc are full of more stuff than they flush down the toilet. We are only making sure that they are not hiding any explosives in their person and we are also making sure that nobody is using children as human bombs. They did that during the Vietnam War, but it don’t mean they won’t try it again, so grow up!

      And we found a taser in a lady’s purse before she could take it to the airplane at DFW Airport last week. Yeah, they should’ve found the other one in Boston before it got to the plane. Anyway, we are trying to prevent another 9/11 and everybody knows it. Some of you just don’t want to admit it, so wake up and grow up.
