TSA Employee Was Busy Pranking Passengers With Fake Bags of Coke Other than Testing New Security Equipment [Tsa]

Ah, the old ” planting a faux bag of cocaine on a stressed traveler” trick-a classic! A recently released document reveals an idiotic TSA screener who, earlier this year, joked around with fake cocaine as opposed to doing his job.

The man, whose name has been redacted from the disclosed reports acquired by The Smoking Gun, was presupposed to be testing expensive new screening gear from Northrop Grumman at Philadelphia International Airport. But that’s totally boring! So the employee filled the time by harassing travelers passing through screening with a bags and vials of creatine-which looks an awful lot like cocaine.

Was it all in good fun? Sure doesn’t sound adore it, consistent with TSG’s memos:

As one passenger gathered their belongings (which had just emerged from an X-ray machine), the TSA worker displayed a ” small vial of white powder” and asked, ” Did this come out of your bag?” When the passenger replied, ” No,” the officer asked, ” Are you sure?” The traveler, consistent with a TSA memo, said, ” Yea, I’m pretty sure,” and commenced to laugh. ” Okay, just wanted to make certain. Have a pleasant flight,” the officer replied.

Hilarious! Wait, no just extremely obnoxious, and contrary to the TSA’s mission of keeping us safe. And truly, just what we’re all inside the mood for as we plod through airport security for hours on end. As you could possibly expect, many of us weren’t exactly doubling over with laughter. One woman burst into tears after being questioned in regards to the fake coke, prompting another TSA worker to assert ” Don’t do this,” at which point he returned to work. The coke jokester was eventually given the boot after complaints reached his superiors, but not before tainting large number of vacations (and confidence inside the TSA). [ The Smoking Gun ]
