TSA

On March 25, 2010, in Uncategorized, by Zach Pippin

Two years ago I went to Boston for spring break. While there I lost my knife. Or so I thought. I found it a few weeks later in the bottom of my backpack. The same backpack I had taken on the flight home. I was telling a friend this story the other week in the airport before flying to NYC. 5 minutes later I found a knife in my bag I thought I had taken out. After we had gone through security. On the return trip, I decided to try and get a knife through security on purpose. It was an old broken knife anyways, so I didn’t care if it got confiscated. It didn’t.

I’ve now gotten a knife past the TSA 3 times, twice completely by accident. I’ve now decided that its somewhat of  game. I want to see how many times I can get that knife through security. I’m putting notches on it.

Take away from this story:

1. Always be alert. The TSA is not keeping us safe. They’re just the illusion of security keeping at ease the minds of the United Sheeple of America. They’re more likely to keep a water bottle off of a plane than a knife [happened on mine].

2. Why on earth would anyone want the same government responsible  for the pile of incompetence that is the TSA get closer to a takeover of our healthcare system?

PS

I wish I could get paid to find ways to exploit security systems in order to better train guards.

  1. Dude you are crazy. Intentionally? haha that's pretty awesome.
    Just be prepared to be strip searched if caught :)

      well, with my experience I think as long as I don’t have a water bottle I’ll be fine, haha. but, yeah, it may be a little sticky in the event that they actually catch me.

    I've done that with sharp scissors several times but a knife?!

      crazy, huh? The first time I thought it was a fluke. Second time a very strange coincidence. Third time it was just a game for me, showcasing their incompetence.
