Another Great Job by the TSA

I'm not even sure what to say about this most recent screwup by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA):

1. TSA screener finds two pipes in passenger's bags.

2. Screener determines that they're not a threat.

3. Screener confiscates them anyway, because of their "material and appearance."

4. Because they're not actually a threat, screener leaves them at the checkpoint.

5. Everyone forgets about them.

6. Six hours later, the next shift of TSA screeners notices the pipes and -- not being able to explain how they got there and, presumably, because of their "material and appearance" -- calls the police bomb squad to remove the pipes.

7. TSA does not evacuate the airport, or even close the checkpoint, because -- well, we don't know why.

I don't even feel the need to add a witty remark, the stupidity of the TSA speaks for itself.
