Folks, as much as it is fun bashing the TSA, this is appropriate time to 'blame Canada.' iPod dude never mentioned the TSA in his post.

He was in Canada and it sounds like he was interviewed by Customs and some police types. So perhaps, Fuck the Mounties.

Wow, if that's true, that's seriously f'ed up. I'm waiting for the "You've been Punk'd" post though.

"If you and she were drunk together, and she turned to you and said, 'Let's go' what would you say?"

That site's blocked where I'm at. Did the TSA really ask that? Because if they did, they've got some serious pervs over there.

The correct answer if Agent Smith from the TSA asks you that, by the way, is "Ok, just let me pull out of Agent Smith's mom first."

Stop putting iPods in the toilet, Mister, or I'll turn this plane around!

Ha, stupid warlocks. If he was a priest, he could cast Control Mind and make one of the TSA agents kill the other ones, then write the report that it was all just a horrible, horrible accident.

""Fantasy ... like it's got wizards and warlocks?"
"Well, it's got warlocks." (And they need to be nerfed.)"

Ha, stupid warriors, if he was a lock he could have cast death coil on the detective and escaped while he was running around in horror. Leave it to a warrior to stand there and take it.

I don't think it's called the TSA in Canada.
And when I'm carrying my $400(US) electonic device I keep track of it.

Jesse- If you read the story, it says he had the iPod on a belt clip. Since he took the belt into the bathroom, the iPod came with him.

"Mysterious electronic device"?? It's a damn iPod! What's so mysterious about that?? And why the hell did he take his iPod into the bathroom?? This is too weird...

Wow...that is frightening...I mean...he wasn't even wearing a shirt with Arabic writing on it and they still treated him like that?!

In all seriousness though, as I said before, my worst airport security experience was actually in Vancouver Canada(interrogated 3 times, searched twice), those mounties don't fuck around...
