I often say I won’t provide any commentary and then end up ranting just a bit. In this case I don’t need to say anything. This story speaks for itself:
A TSA worker pulled a small plastic baggie full of white powder out of Rebecca Solomon’s carry-on bag. After 20 seconds of the young woman’s panic, sweating, and disbelief, the security guard said: Just kidding!
The practical joke on the 22-year-old Wynnewood native by a Transportation Security Administration screener occurred in the Philadelphia International Airport Jan. 5 on her way back to school, reports Inquirer columnist Daniel Rubin.
Solomon didn’t think it was funny.

Everyone jokes about the TSA being equal to fast food workers. There have been a few times I’ve gone into a fast food place and order something like a big mac and the person will say “we’re out of big macs” so I just say “well never mind then” and walk off only to hear “I was just playin, anything else?”
It’s annoying at a fast food restaurant, but the most they can do is give me crappy food. TSA has the ability to get law enforcement involved and really mess with a person.

I’ll be sure to ask if anyone found my white powder when I’m at the PHL TSA checkpoint tomorrow morning.

Very poor judgement by the TSA agent. News is reporting the agent has left his position. Doesn’t mention whether he resigned or was fired.
