Security Breach of the Day: A 66-year-old Gresham, Oregon man with 500 rounds of ammo in his carry-on managed to board a plane from Portland to Guam without being stopped by the TSA.
Nario Eter was ultimately detained by local authorities in Guam after attempting to board a connecting flight to Micronesia.
According to his daughter, Eter made an honest mistake, unintentionally forgetting to declare the ammunition, which she claims he uses to “shoot fish from a tree.”
However, according to a federal magistrate in Guam, Eter wrapped the bullets in grey tape in order to deliberately “ensure (he) would defeat TSA security measures at Portland International Airport.”
Either way, the incident is an embarrassing one for the TSA. “They put a lot of security out here,” passenger Cy Smith told KGW. “We’re spending a lot of money as taxpayers, and it shouldn’t have happened. So, if we’re going to spend our money, they need to do the job correctly.”
[kgw.]
So they’ll pat down and strip search the disabled and the elderly, be caught masturbating to the X-ray camera footage, leave lude notes in a woman’s bag because they found a Silver Bullet, but when they actually need to DO THEIR FUCKING JOB and prevent someone from carrying dangerous items onto a plane, they slip up.
Well done, TSA.
