Damn. Wish I'd thought of that...
A Wisconsin businessman was detained when he tried to go through airport security with a message scrawled on his plastic bag of toiletries.The message, "Kip Hawley is an Idiot," was on the plastic bag carried by Ryan Bird, whose ire was aimed at the director of the Transportation Security Administration.
Yeah, Mr. Bird. I know how you fucking feel.
"Way too many of the TSA rules are knee-jerk reactions to noncredible threats," Bird said Thursday in a telephone interview while traveling. "Bottled water was never a threat, toothpaste was never a threat."
The insane part? Sherrif deputies inteviewed him for 25 minutes after TSA called them in. A TSA supervisor told Bird he had no free speech rights in an airport security zone. Here's to the hope that Bird will sue the holy hell out of TSA and the supervisor individually. Oh, and KIP HAWLEY IS A FUCKING IDIOT.
