Gawd we’ve all been there
Alcohol is the worst recreational drug.
“What’s the point of living?” she is recorded as saying.
She’ll be saying that a lot when she’s sober and in the slammer.
A half-empty liter bottle of Absolut vodka was found in her purse.
Oh girl, we’ve all had days like that.
“A half-empty liter bottle of Absolut vodka was found in her purse.“
So pessimistic. I prefer to see the bottle as half full.
In all seriousness, this sounds shitty and sad all around. Not sure why this warrants a news story.
She threw a coin at the bulkhead?
Stab everyone with what, exactly? A plastic fork? TSA already confiscated anything remotely dangerous, along with quite a few things that are not.
And since all flights are always overbooked these days, some poor sap had to sit next to her for the whole flight.
Aw that’s nothing; last Thursday someone on the metro told me he was going to “Eat my family, bitch”
Theatre of Security and Assaultings did what? Tack this onto the list of things showing how truly effective they are.
How did she get the bottle of vodka past security? Asking for a friend.
Duty Free shops are on the “secure” side of “security.”
You can make all kinds of stabby weapons from stuff that you can find at the airport stores.
Social skills also help. My wife, who is quite gregarious, was once made to mail home the multi-tool the TSA dude found in her purse. However, the ensuing discussion about where he came from and his southern accent &tc. completely distracted him from inspecting the numerous sharp objects in her cosmetics bag.
Okay.
I still stand by my assessment of the TSA.
Of course. That assertion still stands with merit. Note my liberal use of scare quotes when it comes to “secure” and “security.”
He almost got lucky.
