So even the TSA hates those long lines
The Transportation Security Administration likes to talk about why they have to screen grandmothers in wheelchairs (there was once a person carrying a bomb) but there was no immediate answer why a TSA agent was herself arrested in a New Jersey airport when she avoided a pre-flight screening and boarded a plane.
Authorities say Wanda Weems of Newark was detained at Newark Liberty International Airport after she boarded a Continental Airlines flight bound for Houston.
Because neither Weems nor her luggage had been screened, the flight was delayed for more than an hour as each passenger was taken off the plane and screened again.
It’s unclear why Weems avoided the screenings, according to wire reports.
In the wake of the incident, one blogger wrote: “Maybe we should have TSA personnel trained in screening for Prostate cancer? At least when they whip out the rubber gloves they could perform a real public service.”
