Never joke with TSA

By missy - 16/06/2011 02:42 - United States

Today, I missed my flight because I was held in airport security because I'd "threatened" an employee. He had confiscated my eyelash curler and jokingly I asked if he thought I was going to curl him to death. He didn't laugh. FML

I use to work at the airport and would have to pass by TSA to get to my job. Sometimes they were sane human beings. Other times they were cruel, heartless, scary creatures.

Remember… Never ask a cop if it's true that he became a cop just because his application to Dunkin' Donuts wasn't accepted. That won't end well…

They had their sense of humour surgically removed as part of first-day training.

TSA is getting out of control. They've become a Gestapo. Obama should finally make his his first "change" with these jackasses.

Airport security is one of the few places where joking is NEVER allowed. **** your life, though.. If he already had it, he should have known you meant no harm.. Especially threatening to curl him. I had a PEZ dispenser taken away once when I was 12, though, so..

He's not exactly going to be an intelligent person accustomed to thinking for himself if he works as TSA...

It's stupid that you were held in airport security and you missed your flight over an eyelash curler. However, when you book a flight there is generally warnings EVERYWHERE on the site, booking detail etc of what you can and can't pack in hand luggage. And I thought everyone knows not to joke in an airport on anything sensitive.

There are lists of prohibited items, and eyelash curlers is NOT one of them.

If that was true, I think anyone that can take over a plane with an eyelash curler, deserves the damn plane. :)
