Love is a wonderful thing !!
And what happened to the TSA employee who left his post? Seems to me they are going after the wrong person here.
He is on administrative leave, which basically means he is suspended with pay, pending an investigation
Yes, he was wrong.....Maybe they should waterboard him and ship him to Gitmo too!....Sometimes, people do stupid things...This was not an act of MALICE...TSA stinks, I had to walk barefooted, with a tank top and shorts while boarding in Hawaii, Big Island, The TSA guy screamed at me about my tweezers, while I watch a family of 20 Asians board with back packs, strollers, grocery bags pocketbooks,,,,walk by and board at the gate, They were not stopped...ALOHA!
This is the calssic straw dog tactic.
Arrest this guy to redirect the attention away from the TSA incompetents
