So, if you are bored: First read this: [url]http://www.mybottlesup.com/tsa-agents-took-my-son/[/url] Then read this: [url]http://www.tsa.gov/blog/2009/10/response-to-tsa-agents-took-my-son.html[/url] And then read this: [url]http://www.mybottlesup.com/my-apologies/[/url] I love the "apology." Next time you make crazy false claims about something to drum up traffic to your blog, maybe don't do it about a government agency that videotapes all of its interactions with you.

Im guessing she thinks that TSA took the time to edit the video before they posted it or something equally sinister. whatever. nut job.

mashedpotato · October 2009

I love the TSA, my H left his wallet and watch in one of those bins and they didn't steal it. Picked it up a week later in their office.

I forgot to mention, that woman is a loon.

Oh the drama. What a loonie.

I don't think it is the best idea to let her travel without supervision any time soon.

FA-REAK

It took me a while to go through all of that, but she is on a short bus to crazy town for sure.Also, I find it funny that her blog post freak out is all "Cheers! Nic" at the end.

lindsayll · October 2009

Wow. The "apology" is fantastic. The commens on the TSA blog are funnier. People got some serious hate on for the TSA, even after the video proved she was a liar. They've changed gears from outrage at mom separated from baby, to outrage over a secondary screening process that took less than 10 minutes to complete. And of course, throw in a little crazy conspiracy, doctored video, big brother, no right to do any of this, to spice things up. The TSA isn't perfect, but is it really that big of a deal to go through airport screening? Seriously, it's pretty simple in the grand scheme of things and if you don't lose your shiiit with them, things generally proceed smoothly and quickly. And if you don't want to be screened, you can always take the train, bus, or drive.

Also, I find it funny that her blog post freak out is all "Cheers! Nic" at the end. Me too. My son was stolen by aliens who performed experiments on him while I had a heart attack and DIED!!!! Cheers!

heatherkj · October 2009

Crazy. I don't get how, in her apology, she's not all "Yeah, so that part about being separated from my son?? I lied." Instead she continues to say that it happened, but the video doesn't show it? Uh huh. Sure.It didn't seem to me that she was in the plastic "box" for a crazy amount of time. The secondary screening seemed a little more thorough than I've seen in the past (I was selected for random secondary screening once, and it definitely wasn't that big of a deal), but I don't understand the complete freakout by Nic OR the crazies commenting on the TSA blog.

noisy_penguin · October 2009

I loved her apology too. "It's a difference of perspective." No, actually, it's not.I think the secondary screening took longer because she was wearing some sort of leg/knee brace or something that was setting the thing off - at one point they had her roll her pantleg up, and then it ended pretty quickly after that. But yeah - under 10 minutes is nothing. They didn't even go through her bags.I've had absolutely no problems with TSA. They're always pretty quick with testing Will's food/milk, and they always explain exactly what they're doing every time. The one time I got screened (I think it was because I bought a one-way ticket the night before I was leaving and checked no bags...that seems to be frowned upon) the guy was super nice and joked with me about what I was going to train for at spring training.

I love that even in her fake story she admits hanging up on her husband because she would rather talk to her mom. Nutty. I was picturing a Mel Gibson voice screaming "give me back my son!"

buddhagouda · October 2009

I got barked at once in the Jackson airport because I forgot to take my phone out of my back pocket. It didn't even set the alarm off, but you just can't have anything visibly in your pocket. She was actually pretty rude, but I just assumed since the Jackson airport has all of four gates, she was really bored.

FallinAgain · October 2009

The one time I got screened (I think it was because I bought a one-way ticket Yep, the one time I had a one-way ticket, I almost got strip searched. Going home in July I took my mom some Bit O Honey candy. That got the bag hand searched and 3 TSA agents to examine the candy. Finally one asked, "What is this?" "Candy." More examination. Then I was free to go. I should have written a blog about the mean TSA separating me from my candy.I think the security screening is often fairly assinine. You think my water bottle is full of explosives so you want me to throw it in the bin with all the other possible explosives next to this huge line of people in this crammed airport? ok, sure. You do what you have to do to get through and get on the plane.

BobLoblaw · October 2009

You do what you have to do to get through and get on the plane.Word. I'm continually amazed by the people who either don't know the rules, act like they don't, or think they're better than everyone else so it doesn't apply to them. "What, I have to check my expensive bottle of perfume?! It could break!" AND TAKE OFF YOUR FOFFING SHOES.

mashedpotato · October 2009

it was fun trying to convince the TSA people to let my H fly home without any identification (he left his wallet at the RI airport), it took some extra time and searches, but they were all pretty understanding, you just need to be calm and not get an attitude with them.

FallinAgain · October 2009

When we flew to SF from Midway, there was this man behind us who kept asking, ""What are those bins for?" I ignored him b/c 1) who doesn't know what the bins are for at this point; 2) there are signs; 3) he could just watch us and observe; and 4) his tone was weirdly hostile and I didn't want to deal. We went through. He goes through fully dressed and sets off the alarm, of course. TSA says "you need to remove your shoes, belt and anything in your pockets and put them in the bin...." He loses it and get all pissy, "How was I supposed to know that?" TSA: "Excuse me, sir?" Crazy: "How was I supposed to know?!" TSA: "Well, there are signs there." (points to signs)Crazy: "Where? I don't see any! I want to talk to a supervisor now!"That shiit would get you arrested at O'Hare. Nut.

wingedbride · October 2009

I got searched in teh airport in Amsterdam on our way to Barcelona. He put her hands under my bra and into my vagina. It was over clothes, but I still felt she should have at least bought me lunch.

ChristinS · October 2009

I should have written a blog about the mean TSA separating me from my candy. Now that's something worth getting upset about Fallin. I'm sorry that happened to you. HUGZ.

noisy_penguin · October 2009

I almost lost it with the security people at Heathrow. They were going to make me drink my own foffing breastmilk.Lady: Take a sip of this.Me: It's breast milk.Lady: You have to take a sip of it.Me: I'm not drinking my own breast milk.Lady: Then you can't take it with you. (Moves to dump bottle out.)Me: What are you doing? What is my kid going to drink on the flight home?Lady: Then you have to take a sip of it.Me: It's BREAST MILK.Lorne and Will were through security by then and Lorne stepped in and had Will take a sip of it, which was fine, and then we all left and ran 50 gates to our flight, but I was completely unprepared to be asked that.

wingedbride · October 2009

Whatever noisy. I am sure it just tastes like popcorn.

SarahBethBR · October 2009

Too bad Lyse wasn't with you.I've never had problems with the TSA, though I have been searched a few times. Alhtough I've never really understood why I can't take a half empty Dasani bottle, but I can take ten hypodermic needles and bottles of liquid medicine with no questions. I always have a doctor's note and copy of my prescription but I've never been asked for it.

Vinny08 · October 2009

Here is my unnecessarily long TSA story with far too many details.After my mom passed away, my sister and I had to do the whole packing/throwing/selling off of her stuff (good times for all). She was living in FL at the time and I lived in DC, so my sis and I just drove down.While doing it, we found this old set of medical tools that she had used in college. It had all kinds of pokey and stabby sort of tools. I thought it was neat in a "my mom used to be a scientist" sort of way. I tossed it in a pocket in my bag and never thought another thing about it. When I flew to Denver from DC several weeks later, I used the same bag (never noticing the little folder of potentially leathal tools in the pocket).Going through security, they saw it in the machine. They kept scanning my bag and were all, "WTF is in there?" After they started hand searching my bag, I remembered what it was. All of the agents were dumbstruck over the moron bringing stabby tools onto a plane. Luckily, one of the agents had gone through med school and had a similar collection. He offered to have it mailed to me, but I was so mortified, I just told them to toss it.

My MIL, in the process of helping us do some renovations on our house, had to go pick up some saw blades. She ended up putting them in her purse and forgetting about them until they flew to Mexico. Apparently, she looked at the security guy like he had 3 heads when he asked her about the saw blades in her purse.We still call her Hacksaw Granny.
