Stun gun found in Boston-to-NJ jet after arrival

WHY IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO THREATEN THE PRESIDENT BUT NOT FOR CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT TO THREATEN AMERICAN CITIZENS

....and the gov't is going to run health care

Last year I was coming back from a cruise and had a flight out of LAX. After I got scanned, I was called over because my backpack contained something suspicious. They took me and the backpack over to a table where the TSA agent informed me that a wooden turtle that I had wrapped in paper was cause of suspicion because it was very dense. Understandable. After wrapping the turtle back up, he gave me my backpack and sent me on my way. A few minutes later while waiting for the plane, I went through my backpack and found a 4" folding knife that I had accidentally left in there while hiking in Mexico. So ... this TSA agent was suspicious about my turtle, but completely missed a 4" knife? How did the X-ray attendant not see it? How did the agent who searched my backpack not see it? Probably because the really don't care that much about their jobs and would rather be somewhere else.

TSA didn't find the stun gun because it wasn't carried on board by a 6 year old boy or a 90 year old granny in a wheelchair.

TSA lets you by with knives, stun guns, etc. Try getting by them with a tube of toothpaste and you will be subjected to a cavity search (no pun intended).

TSA employees were stunned by the find.

"People get caught bringing things TO the checkpoint all the time." Obviously they brought it THROUGH the checkpoint and the GED patrol of TSA agents were too busy frisking some old lady.

I know a TSA agent who tells people he works at Burger King, just to get more respect.

The TSA crap isn't about safety. It isn't about saving money either, obviously. It is about creating a second police force and getting the citizenry used to allowing them to grope them, stop them, pat them down, question them, etc. And it's a real time real world study about how the American people traded their illusion of safety for a loss of fredom and gained nothing in return .

Those who give up their security for safety, deserve neither.
The TSA is joke, and all you sheaple are giving up your liberty for this sham.
If you think for one second you are safe because of the TSA, you are a fool.

Must have been smuggled in a baby's diaper...Oh yeah, that couldn't happen because that's the only thing the TSA morons ARE checking!

Give everyone a barbecue pork sandwich to eat while they are waiting at the gate. Don't eat don't fly.

Remember: radiation exposure and aggressive groping are a small price to pay for the illusion of security.

Let me guess, some 95 year old woman had it hidden in her adult diapers - or was it surgically implanted inside a child?

The only thing the gestapo TSA are good for is sexually assaulting children and old ladies. They can't even do what they are paid to do.
TSA=FAIL!!!! Get rid of this felonious agency.

We're letting them examine our genitalia now, and they still can't find something as large as a stungun? I'll tell you why... Flown lately? Did that TSA agent who molested you look familiar? That's because you probably saw him/her working at the Wendy's drive thru last week. These people largely have the mentality of a bag of Dorito's and have been given more rights to invade our privacy than the FBI. <--- The FBI has to get a signed warrant to search a KNOWN TERRORIST'S pockets, but these flunkies are allowed to fondle the junk of any law abiding citizen they want on their way to see grandma? %$$!!

Goes to show the TSA is another ineffective government agency. Bet the morons will continue to claim the TSA is making us safer.
The TSA needs to be ELIMINATED!! And, yes, I would feel safer taking my chances that there is a terrorist on board than to deal the the terrorists called TSA.

So... TSA stripped adult diapers off an 85 year old dying woman in a wheelchair and then a few weeks later let someone carrying a stun gun waltz through security. What's wrong with this picture?

Whoa....The Port Authority turned over the gun to the TSA? What are they going to do with it? Send it to their lab to be analyzed by a TSA scientist? We all know how intelligent TSA employees have to be to feel up kids and old ladies.

Unfortunately, TSA is not going away. Mr/Ms(?). Napolitano has been given too much power. He/she is the "hall safety monitor" of the United States and whatever process he/she implements is all for the sake of keeping the American people safe. Scary stuff! Within a couple years, they'll set up shop at train, subway and bus stations; schools; malls; libraries, street corners, etc. All to keep the American people safe. Remember with TSA, you're presumed guilty until they decide if you are innocent. Unless you are not an American citizen, then you're presumed innocent. We don't want to offend or appear to profile any particular religion or race.

Well it certainly didn't belong to my 4 year old daughter. They patted her down while 5 adults walked on through.
