TSA Now Confiscating Air
Apparently even harmless photo equipment is not immune to TSA's overreach. On a recent trip through Newark, a photographer had his Giottos Rocket Blower taken by the TSA because they didn't like the way it looks. Rocket Blowers are a small rubber bulb with a plastic tip, which are a popular piece of photo gear used to remove dust particles from camera sensors and lenses. You squeeze it and air comes out the tip. Apparently some at TSA think it looks like a bomb. Next thing you know,… (www.petapixel.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
....I got some hot air they can confiscate......
And this is why everyone thinks TSA is both a waste of resources and time. There was no attempt to apply common sense here. It goes through X-ray and shows empty, ya pick it up and squeeze it and air comes out. Hmmmm, must be dangerous eh? LOL!
Sad part is that most "DANGEROUS" stuff they confiscate goes in the trashcan, in the screening area, right in front of the pax. If it was too dangerous to fly, it ought to go somewhere. Call the bomb squad and shut down the airport!!
don't give them the idea... Some of them can read, and may be watching here.
Seriously? Great. What's next, confiscating my dust clothes too?!?
I'm concerned about my battery charger since it has wires like a bomb...
Understandable. My 600/1200 is about a foot long and made out of metal. Maybe thatll get taken cause it "looks like a pipe". Wonder if itd be possible to "confiscate" tsa's employment as they all "look incompetent".
