    They tried to do WHAT?!

    Sneak something that looked like a bomb through security at an airport. While filming it.
    Presumably so they could show the world, and those who want to infiltrate our planes again, just how they got away with it.

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I hope the courts make an example of these individuals as well as the company that employs them.

    How could any one with half a brain think that it was a good idea to try this? Dumb ass's.
    No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.

    Just look at the number of people caught with loaded pistols trying to get thru security.

    People are stupid.

    You'd be surprised how often things like that get through. I used to work for one of the big 3 airlines and we had to test the security checkpoint twice per day with fake bombs, fake guns, opaque objects, etc and they failed and failed miserably several times per week.

    Good news for me: they're probably not likely to target flights out of Knoxville to Sanford FL

    The Goverment shouldn't be too harsh on them.

    The ones with the bag------------- 2 years in prison----- one of those years spent in solitary so they can reminisce how stupid thy are.

    The ones filming-------1 year in prison, as bubba's girl friend

    If they'd made it thru, can you imagine the news story that would've made... That was the goal here.. To make TSA look stupid... That didn't work...
    Someone had an idea and the light went off... It just wasn't one of those new LED super bright bulbs...more like an old 15w flickerer...

    I’ve got a TSA approved Leatherman and every time I fly I’m hauled off for the full bag search and, sometimes, the “inquisition” with a stern looking Buella Ballbreaker type TSA official.

    This activity was total BS and I hope they do give them the time to think about their actions. Also, surprised they actually caught them, good for TSA.

    Idiots in the news make the news. Throw the book at them and anticipate a pathetic 1st Amendment defense (which won't work BTW).
