TEB6363 0 #4 July 17, 2003 "Both were arrested, Johnson said" - Hmmmm, the 10-year old and the teddy bear, or the 6-year old and the guy with a hollow leg... ok, not to poke fun at the inspectors, just the writing style.... Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm shocked that the gun wasn't discovered by the parents before arriving at the airport. The parent's are so lucky that the gun didn't go off or was discovered by the child. Quote"The family reported it had been given to the child at a hotel in Orlando two days earlier," TSA spokesman Robert Johnson said. As a parent I WOULD NOT allow my child to take any kind of gift from a stranger. I'm guessing the Teddy Bear came from a stranger, or else that person could be easily tracked down. What were these parents thinking?May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
