Man forgets ammo in carry-on bag -- turns himself in

Man forgets ammo in carry-on bag -- turns himself in It is becoming obvious that the TSA isn't asking for new technology because of smart terrorists -- they need all these new machines because they are incapable of doing their job. A passenger boarded a plane at Milwaukee General Mitchell airport, but realized he had left some shotgun shells in his bag. Being a good citizen, he reported this to the flight attendant, who informed the pilot. The plane then returned to the gate so the passenger could turn the ammo into the local police. The man was re-screened, and allowed back on the plane. After the failed terror attempt on Christmas day, one would expect TSA agents to be extra vigilant. The agency has been asking for more money to invest in full body scanners, and other detection equipment. But at the end of the day, even the most impressive piece of equipment in the world becomes another useless gadget when staffed by idiots. |

What a effing idiot. If this was Britain the man would have been arrested and the Terminal shut down. T |

Yep, and this is just weeks after they're on high alert because of the "underwear" bomber. If they can't catch what basicly ammounts to an uncamoflauged explosive when someone isn't even trying to sneak it on the plane, what in the hell can they catch?

The brainless TSA :mad_m: scanners wouldn't know a shot shell from shinola.
Remember they have no familiarity with scary guns. :111: |

I would have sat in my seat and chuckled to myself, and never have said a word.
What a doofus! |

When we lived in the US, even after 911 my wife traveled through airports all the time with a decent sized Swiss Army knife attached to her keys (for opening beer bottles and cutting apples) she still has it - they never once spotted it or tried to confiscate it.

Hell, they were probably dumping out someone else's shampoo when his bag went through the scanner. |

Make the old ladies lift their arthritic arms over their heads to prove that we are being fair and not discriminating.

Insane, and to think that they single me out because of my shoe size(16). Any one hear about the poor Irish guy who had C4 planted in his bag by, I think it was Romania or somewhere and then they turned him in as a terrorist after he had gotten to Dublin?
