The Security Theater’s Silliest Prop Calls the Kettle Black

A suicide vest, two guns and an old military manual triggered an alarm at Richmond International Airport on Saturday,” thanks to the TSA’s usual hysteria. Nor did its dimwits have the grace to apologize when they discovered that “the items were not real. … [They] were for a live action role-playing game. ‘What was designed to look like a suicide vest was a prop; the guns were plastic replicas,’ the TSA said in a news release. ‘Police tracked down the traveler at the gate and detained him for questioning by local law enforcement and the FBI.’”

Astoundingly for the USSA’s police-state, “No charges were filed” against the passenger.

“’Very realistic props,’ TSA said.” And it should know, being nothing but a prop itself.
