The fine folks at your TSA delayed boarding and detained passengers after mistaking an insulin pump for a weapon at LAX.

The incident occured January 27, 2012 around 7:30am in Terminal 4.

What’s the saying about being a hammer and everything looking like nails?
Oh.
If you’re a hammer, the whole world looks like nails.

The Ron Paul 2012 web site is buzzing with even more pro-liberty/anti-tsa content than usual after future president Rand Paul was detained by the TSA today.

They cite an article at Human Events where John Mica, chairman of the House Transportation Committee said “They need to get out of the screening business and back into security. Most of the screening they do should be abandoned”.

Here is the article on Ron Paul 2012: http://www.ronpaul2012.com/2012/01/23/tsa-creator-agrees-with-ron-paul-about-abolishing-tsa/.

Penn Jillette, the louder, larger half of Penn & Teller, continuing his decades long promotional gauntlet for the Bill of Rights – Security Edition.

Nice to show up in a piece by the Cato Institute.

The mention shows up around minute 14:00.

Thanks again, Penn!

Brother, can you spare 400k?

According to THE HILL, the TSA collected $400,000 in spare change left by passengers in airports in 2011.

You can read the full article here.

There’s a small discussion on the site as to what should be done with the money. At this time, 1/3 of the people in the discussion think that the 400k should go to me, Dean Cameron. That may change. Who knows?
