TSA finds anti-aircraft ammunition in bag, evacuates luggage room of Hawaiian airport… The team found a .50-caliber round of anti-aircraft ammunition inside a thermos.

THE TSA WANTS TO PUT A GOVERNMENT TRACKING APP ON YOUR SMARTPHONE [More] Hey, Mad Maxie may want seconds…
Officials say the man blamed his wife and told them that she packed his carry-on bag and he did not know that the loaded gun was inside. [More] That ain’t the way it works, pal. Then again, seeing as his first reaction was to throw her under the bus, maybe she set him up. [Via Steve … Continue reading “Lucy! You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!”
UTSA teaching assistant ousted after threatening to ‘murder’ and ‘rape’ conservative personality … After sharing the message on Twitter, users quickly identified the teaching assistant from other social media accounts.

[More] The link they provided goes to … Continue reading “A ‘Progressive’ Male Feminist”
According to the TSA, any passenger with the four-letter code on their boarding pass can be swabbed for the residue of illegal substances, such as drugs or explosives.

If this is the case, how does TSA not only label someone a terrorist but also have someone within the TSA, without any research or follow-up, manipulate a national security database and enter false information that Bill’s wife had broken into the Capitol? [More] And then consider all the totalitarian Democrats screaming “terror loophole” demanding … Continue reading “J’Accuse…!”
ABF Commander Justin Bathurst said the arrest spoke to the diligence of the force’s officers and sophistication of the country’s detection technology. [More] Either that or of the utter incompetence of TSA at LAX… Here’s hoping they ID the “U.S. woman” before scrubbing her social media.

Liberal Pro-Abortion Organization Files Lawsuit Over People Monitoring Ballot Drop Boxes in Arizona [More] We know the fear of voter fraud is baseless. Just ask the media. Besides, it’s not like the League of Women Voters has a leftwing political axe to grind on guns — is it? [Via Michael G]
It’s unclear who’s behind the propaganda campaign… [More] It hardly seems unfair to note which “side” is notorious for hoaxes designed to smear those they hate in the hair-trigger “minds” of the mob… And it’s not like the mob isn’t showing us in “Comments” that they’re eager to pile on: KSA – Meanwhile us republicans … Continue reading “So Who’s ‘Ben’?”
