[h=1]Man wants $5M after TSA detained him for joking about peanut butter[/h] 4 hrs ago
A jar of peanut butter got Frank Hannibal into a jam (sorry … we had to), and now the New York man wants the TSA to fork over $5 million. Hannibal tried to carry a jar of Crazy Richard’s natural peanut butter onto a flight, but the security screener, confused by the layer of oil on top of the peanut butter, pulled him out of line. Hannibal told his wife "They're looking to confiscate my explosives." No one thought his joke was funny, and he was led out of LaGuardia in handcuffs. Hannibal was detained for 25 hours (and — gasp — the jail's peanut butter sandwiches were not fancy), and he's since filed a lawsuit. "To be led out of there like a terrorist was unbelievable," he said. "It was a nightmare." [Source]

TSA or the nazi SS?

Normally I do not like these types of lawsuits but TSA is a joke. They need to make some serious changes, maybe a few of these go thru they will step it up

they are slow undertrained and simply incompetent for most part.

Fuck this dumbass. Certain places and certain situtions one should not joke around and this is it.

I hate the TSA and all the bullshit you have to go through. I once checked the wrong bag and went through with a complete set of cutlery including the chef knife and butcher knife and they did not even catch it, so I know it is all a bunch of bullshit. All that being said, why did this guy think he was going to get through with a 16oz jar of anything?

I'm glad to hear the detained this jackass.

Joking around about explosives in an airport is something you do not do. Hell joking around about explosives is something you don't do in general.

Hopefully next time this guy will just put his peanut butter in his checked bag and keep his mouth shut...

Anyone with an ounce of brains knows that you don't joke about explosives in an airport; this bum should be forced to clean the airport restrooms for a week just for being stupid.

Airport security is a necessary evil. Let's not forget what happened that brought about their creation. That said, they need to pay better to attract more qualified applicants.

For international flights where customers and border protection also works hand in hand it is very solid.. for interstate travel I would second this notion

I'm going to try not to ruin this moment we're having.

You agree that people can't just get on an airplane unvetted, right?

Hahahah classic. I do agree man, but how much is too much? When I see TSA agents touching (or molesting) 5-11 year olds or the elderly in wheelchairs because they MIGHT be terrorists, cmon, is just mindblogging. I dont think USA can be hit like 911 unless there are government agencies aware of it, you guys have the top security in the world, I dont think 2 planes can get simultaneously hijacked, let alone 4. Thats all I'm saying

The people who wish us harm know that everyone gets checked. If we stopped checking certain types of people, those would be the kind of people that terrorists would try to recruit.

I'm not saying that Al Qaeda could find some 80 year old white lady who wants to bring down the Empire State Building, but when we start letting our defenses down our weak points will be exploited. I hate the TSA as much as anyone, but it's a small trade off for getting on a plane with some semblance of piece of mind.
