Default TSA-Stun Gun Disguised As Cell Phone

The Transportation Security Administration says it made a stunning discovery when it inspected a passenger at Los Angeles International Airport: what looked to be an ordinary cell phone was actually a stun gun.

The discovery happened Monday night, when TSA agents checked a passenger at LAX who was bound for Washington's Reagan National Airport, officials said.

The stun gun was camouflaged as a pink cell phone, TSA said. The agency said the passenger was allowed to continue onto her flight after the cell phone stun gun was confiscated.

TSA spokesman Kawika Riley said the incident showed the need for TSA to remain vigilant about airport security.

"As you can see, along with the 1,100-plus guns that have been detected this year alone, TSA also detects a variety of weapons, some of which are deliberately crafted to look like harmless everyday items," he said in an E-mail.

"Every day, thousands of passengers bring electronic devices like laptop computers and smart phones to airport checkpoints across the country," he continued. "Most are screened without incident, but occasionally, like in this case, we find appearances can be deceiving."

TSA has often been criticized for its airport security techniques like pat-down hand searches and X-ray machines, but Riley said the stun gun incident showed that "even common items can be used to hide a potential threat.

"That's why our officers are trained to look beyond the ordinary to ensure that dangerous items are not able to board aircraft," he said.

TSA has been touting a move to 'risk-based' security techniques like its Pre-Check known traveler program as a way to improve passengers airport security experiences. In that program, passengers volunteer background information in exchange for the possibility of less onerous security screening.

Here's a photo of the stun-gun-disguised-as-a-cell-phone, courtesy of the TSA:


If you'd like one, they sell them at BudK.

Say What? Four knives, brass knuckles and a laser pointer. He would have been locked up in a heart beat here. Hopefully.

I've known a couple ladies in my past, and none of them asked if I brought my protective, fun inducing laser with me?

They were allowed to carry on after trying to board a plane with a stun gun? Can't believe they didn't get locked up!

I watched the video series, unbelievable that they let that arrogant prick talk to them like that when he was trying to board a flight with carry on items like that, knives and a taser?? and then let him be on his way? I would like to think that he would have been cuffed and stuffed in the US, but you are right Jack, we wouldn't want to offend a member of the "religon of peace" now would we...were does it stop??

I hope they at least gave him a thorough cavity search...

not allowed to body search a muslim here unless they get a muslim officer , and guess what , the 8 we trained up all ended up busting laws in major ways ,
1 34 kilo heroin importation
2 6 counts of child sex slave trafficking ( got bailed and left the country )
3 another is one of 5 charged with the planning of a siucide attack on Holsworthy barracks and the child day care centre next to it full of troops kids

theres a few more similar stories and this just the customs employed ones ..

its beyond a joke and now me just saying this technically makes me a criminal

, these clowns talk like this to everyone

look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGhifZMVDjk , telopea street is where i used to live and where the police asked me to move from to "lessen community tensions" ( i was winning )

they have no respect for anything , our laws mean nothing , the try to "standover" ( offer voilence) people to do what they want , including police and others

it'll stop when we realise how bad things are ( jihad attack most likely) and people say enough , and go house to house wiping them out , and the politicians who allowed this as well ..

I stumbled across this Jack, it's clear that YOU are way off base

This whole thing was clearly the customers fault...

I feel bad that this is happening to your country, and hope it doesn't happen here, maybe it is and I haven't witnessed it yet....

the cronulla riots here where started when a group on muslim beat a surf lifer up and help off others with 2 silver pistols and told everyone this was their beach now , Australians where not allowed there , so 25,000 folks turned up the next day

this journalist is aussy but brainwashed and these video's by this apologist are now accepted as fact ..

All good Jack, apology not required, I'm on your side, what little I know of you seems like you have been through some unfair things, and still have a lot on your plate, you also seem to have educated yourself on history and are somewhat of a walking encyclopedia, I don't think I could handle the things you are facing in your country, chin up Mate, stand your ground for what is right, I hope you get your country back the way it should be,

the past few days make that awful unlikely , Q society is under siege from the socialists who are happy to vandalise stuff attack old folks beat up indigenous folks but thats ok thats peaceful protests like occupy

the brigade they tried to disband and force me to disclose all members

and now anything including quoting the korna is a hate crime ( if your a non muslim)

they can call for jihad and call for individuals to be killed , for entire races to be killed and for entire religous sects ( Ba'hai armadia Muslims and others ) to be wiped out in pamphlets that the government pays to have printed

we are pretty screwed

so time to get busy again..

cheers eh ..

Haha, raven, I was referring to the original. There's no wonder TSA caught that thing. That was soooo cheesy.
