TSA Allows Crazed Man with Knife on Plane

On September 18, 2011, on a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, David Alan Anderson got into a confrontation with a neighboring passenger over an arm rest. Anderson quickly became aggressive and threatened to slit the passenger's throat.

The crew noticed Anderson reaching into his bag several times, appearing to be holding something in his hand.

The Salt Lake police were called. They conducted a voluntary search of Anderson's bag and found a knife with a 3 1/2" blade. Anderson was arrested. Anderson went on to verbally threaten police and FBI agents.

The passenger who was in the confrontation with David Anderson could have been killed, and it would have been the TSA's fault. One of the TSA's primary responsibilities is to keep weapons off of planes. Why can't the TSA manage to do that?

Given the Transportation Security Administration provides hands-on dream careers for child molesters who wish to go pro, it should not be surprising a TSA worker has been arrested on suspicions of multiple acts of off-duty lewdness with a girl younger than fourteen.

The precise age of the alleged victim is not yet known, but David Ralph Anderson of Spring Creek, Nevada has been accused of teaching sexual acts to a girl, touching her genitals, having her touch his genitals, rubbing lotion on her, touching her chest, giving her alcohol, showing her pornographic movies, etc. At the time of the arrest, David Anderson was working for the TSA at the Elko Area Regional Airport in Elko, Nevada.
