TSA uncovers “dangerous” mangoes
Latest example of TSA in action: X-ray equipment used by screeners leads to a Columbus, Ohio airport summoning a bomb squad to detonate a suspicious item that turns out to be pickled mangoes.
The screeners could not decide what was in a sealed canister in luggage being inspected last month that was labeled “baby food.” TSA officials say they were suspicious when the woman who owned the suitcase claimed the canister held pickles.
A fire department bomb squad removed the item from the airport and detonated it. They had found mangoes, says WNBS-TV.
One blogger wrote: “I’m amazed that they (TSA) were not outwitted by the superior mental capabilities of their formidable adversary.” Another commented: “In this case, I’d say they were man-no-goes.”
