TSA has never caught a terrorist. Airport security needs a massive overhaul and I am unopposed to removing all security checkpoints.
Just keep the cockpit door locked. That's the only security measure that actually makes a goddamn difference.
Not a fan of TSA and law enforcement social media accounts that try to be funny and make everything into a joke.
"TSA has never caught a terrorist."
Not true at all. Easy examples being the morons who purposely attempt to bring loaded handguns through airport security on the anniversaries of 9/11.
A soft sided dark enclosure is a perfectly acceptable way to transport a snake. Also, unless you’re rummaging through other people’s things, it’s unlikely that anyone would ever know of it’s presence. And for clarification, that is a boop noodle, not a danger noodle.
A woman needing a boa constrictor for emotional support?? Oh pleeeze.......
She is in serious need of psychiatric help.
In the meantime she should go on a national no-fly list.
She is a menace and high risk person on many levels.
It is also totally inappropriate for the TSA idiot to make light of what could have been a catastrophic airport or in-air situation.
Glad they caught it (the snake) before it was brought on board. If she had let it out during the flight, could very possibly have caused panic on the plane. As to her defense of an "emotional support animal", there are plenty of people who would bring aboard an "emotional support gun" with them if they could (and they would be dead serious about the "emotional support" part).
Prove it. Airlines I thought these days require that the passenger proves the need for the support animal after too many people took advantage. This harms and inconveniences those that really need it. Some airlines limited the types of animals that could be support animals too.
