TSA Catches Toothpaste Smuggler

I am not making this up. The TSA blog reports:
Body Scanner Discoveries This Week – There were a total of 8 illegal and prohibited items discovered this week with the body scanners at: Fresno (FAT), 2 at San Francisco (SFO), Chicago O’Hare (ORD), Tampa (TPA), Seattle (SEA), Orange County (SNA), and Ontario (ONT). Items were found in hands, pockets, and concealed in the groin area. Among the items was a tube of toothpaste a passenger at SNA had concealed behind their belt and tucked in front of his waistband.

  1. The war against terror clearly runs counter to the war against gingivitis. Some may say this is a waste of resources, but if we can simply stop one terrorist from engaging in proper dental hygine, it will all be worthwhile.

  2. Those toothpaste tubes are dangerous. Imagine if he made passengers swallow it straight!

  3. What a dumbass....doesn't this person know how inept TSA is at finding razors, toothpaste, liquids, etc., in people's luggage?

    No need to sneak it on your person, just toss it in the bag with the rest of your stuff and you're certain to get it on board.

  6. The TSA catches citizens and that's so much safer than catching terrorists
