Back in November, I stepped on my wedding tackle big-time on a trip through the local airport. Through a monumental lapse in memory, I incurred the wrath of the TSA, and was damned lucky not to be arrested and have my personal property confiscated. Thank God for close working relationships with local law enforcement. Anyhoo, Ive had the TSA penalty hanging over my head like the sword of Damocles ever since, and last week, they finally showed me the blade. I crapped my pants. So, after I requested a formal hearing to protest the penalty, a very nice TSA lawyer contacted me today, and he turned out to be, of all things, a FAIR and reasonable government bureaucrat. He told me he didnt believe in killing an ant with a sledgehammer, and after hearing my side of the story (Sir, I dont dispute the facts of the case. I plead epic dumbassery.), reduced the penalty to something I can live with. So, you wont hear me make any more jokes about Thousands Standing Around for a while. Except for Shanequia at Reagan International Airport in DC, who thinks that an expensive rifle scope is a dangerous firearm thingy that should not be allowed in a carry-on bag, no way, no how. Shanequia is still a blooming idiot.
