It never ends. On May 12, 2011, the bungling dolts at the Transportation Security Administration were conducting a drill at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport with a fake bomb to test the TSA screeners. For some reason, the TSA did not think it would be necessary to alert the police to this drill.
These fake bomb tests are fairly routine. Often, the fake bombs make it past the TSA screeners without incident. This is probably because the TSA screeners are generally just too busy hassling senior citizens who have artificial hips, feeling up little children, and gawking at the naked pictures their buddies are emailing from the full-body scanner observation center. Surprisingly, on this particular occasion, the normally inept TSA screeners were actually able to identify an object that looked like a bomb in an undercover agent's carry-on bag. The resulting TSA actions caused confusion and led to police drawing guns and evacuating the screening area.
Someone could have been killed during all of this confusion. The undercover agent with the fake bomb could have been shot by police or--even worse--a panicked bystander who could have been acting oddly due to the stressful situation could have been mistaken for an accomplice and shot.
This is another example of just how utterly incompetent the TSA is. This ridiculous agency of glorified mall cops cannot be trusted with the safety of the American people.
