It gets better. Despite its “respect” for the now-departed departed, the TSA decided to hunt his ashes down for further searching, as if screeners hadn’t already pestered him and his son with swabs and X-rays and other voo-doo. He should have been easy to spot, according to the Star: his son, who “wore a red shirt and pink hat” was “carr[ying] the ashes in a box inside a garbage bag.” Still, “airport officials could not find” this distinctive duo.
Ah, the efficiency of the police state. And the sour grapes, too: since they couldn’t locate these terrorists who’d taken such crafty care to camouflage themselves and draw no attention, they punished passengers by closing the terminal. “About 500 people were evacuated from Concourses B and C for more than an hour, and eight flights were delayed.” Naturally, the TSA searched these victims all over again before sending them on their way. Dead men not only hijack planes, they also pass liquids and gels to the living.

You can’t make this stuff up. And, you’re expecting these 8$/hour bozos to protect you from a terrorist? “barbara streisand”
No. If it wasn’t so serious, it would be laughable.
BUT, we are paying a huge price in time, money, and attention for this “security theater”.
Disband the TSA now. Return responsibility for security to the airlines. Sell off any airport and the ATC to the industry. Get the gooferment out of the airline biz!
Sigh!
