TSA Employee to Passenger "I plant drug on you. Good joke. Ha Ha"

[richlevy]

Seriously, beyond the criminal background checks, does the TSA have any minimum intelligence requirement?

From here

After pulling her laptop out of her carry-on bag, sliding the items through the scanning machines, and walking through a detector, she went to collect her things.
A TSA worker was staring at her. He motioned her toward him.
Then he pulled a small, clear plastic bag from her carry-on - the sort of baggie that a pair of earrings might come in. Inside the bag was fine, white powder.

Now picture her expression as the TSA employee started to smile.
Just kidding, he said. He waved the baggie. It was his.
And so she collected her things, stunned, and the tears began to fall.

My wife told me they fired the guy. Now he can be a comedian full time.

I really hate it when officials abuse power for kicks. When cops make suspects sing and dance, guards put people in naked piles, and now a TSA morons pulling a funny on a stressed woman passing through the cattle chute that is airport security.
