Security Threat?

Holiday travel was halted on Tuesday at the Lafayette, Louisiana Regional Airport after TSA agents discovered a suspicious package. X-ray images of protruding wires sent agents scrambling. The package was opened and contained a frozen chicken and a head lamp. Bomb sniffing dogs were used to make sure the package did not contain anything dangerous. Officials said the chicken was stuffed with crawfish and that the wires coming from the lamp made the package look suspicious

TSA Bad-As

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is warning that any would-be commercial airline passenger who enters an airport checkpoint and then refuses to undergo the method of inspection designated by TSA will not be allowed to fly and also will not be permitted to simply leave the airport. Anyone refusing faces fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest.
