TSA worker plants white powder baggie on traveller as a joke

Agent was contraband detection trainer; 'no longer employed' at TSA
These days, joking about anything illegal while in an airport security line will likely land you in a holding cell, and might even result in criminal charges. But this column from the Philadelphia Inquirer has some wondering whether that rule applies to TSA employees themselves.
Inquirer columnist Daniel Rubin reports that a 22-year-old University of Michigan student fell victim to a particularly cruel "joke" at the hands of a TSA employee at Philadelphia International Airport on Jan. 5.
As Rebecca Solomon passed through security on her way to boarding a Detroit-bound flight, a TSA agent pulled a small baggie filled with white powder out of her carry-on and asked, "Where did you get it?"
A panicked Solomon suffered for 20 seconds before the guard cracked a smile and said, "Just kidding."

That is outrageous. if I was that student, I'd - Backwards Typist
[ In Reply To ..]be suing in a heart beat. Who knows what this student will now go through every time he tries to board a plane, especially with the breakdown in 'communications'.
Hopefully, it will work out okay, but I'd still be getting an attorney on this.
Perhaps THE lamest pick-up line on record. - Time to lawyer up. nm
