I almost want to just present this without comment, but....
A bumbling TSA agent “playing around” with a pepper-spray container at Kennedy Airport fired the caustic liquid at five fellow screeners yesterday, sending all six to the hospital, a source told The Post.
Apparently, the agent found the thing on the floor and "Wondered if it was real" and "thought it was a laser pointer". He opened fire on his fellow officers.
The screener sprayed five other TSA agents around him, sending all six to Jamaica Hospital and halting security checks at Kennedy for at least 15 minutes, police said.
No passengers reported injuries. Officer Chris Dabel [the clown] refused medical attention.
TSA officials scrambled to keep the embarrassing incident under wraps yesterday
So they don't recognize test bombs, think a prohibited item is a permissible one, and score an own goal to boot. (and even if it was a laser pointer, you don't point them at peoples faces these days. There are a lot of them out there that are a lot more powerful than they should be.)
