There’s a TSA employee, Lisa Farbstein, who shares photos of things they have found in luggage before letting go on the plane.
Here’s one they “briefly” stopped before accepting the explanation from a guy that this was “art.”
ART?????????
It’s more like a dry-run to see what gets by inspectors.
You can’t get on a plane with nose hair clippers but THIS THEY LET ON!
Receiving an invite to the white hut in 3…2…1…
Is this the great artist who used to be a clock maker?
Unbelievably insane. The last time I flew they didn’t say a word about the Swiss Army knife in my purse or the 2 lighters. I had forgotten about them until we reached the destination.
You can’t expect the TSA to perform fisting police actions on an 85 year old wheelchair-bound granny AND worry about some innocent little metallic contraption can you?
Um. Not art.
If that’s art I’m a fighter pilot. And a concert pianist.
I carry stuff like this with me through TSA. They always think they’re bullets.

The artist was Vincent Van Ghaddafi.
well, in defense of the TSA, it wasnt ticking so it couldnt be a bomb.
@Eugenia: I flew from Sacramento to Las Vegas and back with a Swiss Army knife in my purse. I didn’t discover it until I went looking for a piece of gum at the bottom of my purse. I flew 2 weeks ago from Sacramento to LA. When I got to my destination and I opened the bottom of my suitcase there was a notice in there that TSA had inspected my luggage. I had 2 bottles of wine in the upper part. It was packed properly so they left it alone. Maybe the mosquito repellent freaked them out.
The assholes at Newark Airport took my Charlston Heston, NRA dummy bullet, with a hole in the casing off my key ring. They said it was an illegal missile.
IOTW keeps skipping, freezing, jumping on meo type,
impossible to type. Som tin wong?
Maybe the idea here was to publicize that thing so that the really bad guys would get a false sense of security.
Oh. Wait. This is the TSA. Never mind.
Really all it takes is a few laptops, couple cell phones, couple feet of wire and some good stickum. Discharge.. goodnight. “but you didn’t hear it from me.”
tie up those things to the front door handles of a mahsk and ask them, orange you glad it’s NOT BACON
GFY bitches.
