We’ve all heard the term “hiding in plain sight.” Turns out there’s no need to go to that much trouble when the TSA’s gropers and x-ray voyeurs are on the job.
ABC News explains why:
A foreign national who flew from New York to Los Angeles last week with a stolen boarding pass and ID card has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport, according to federal authorities.
Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, a Nigerian-born man who was found with the stolen ID and up to 10 old boarding passes containing various names, was arrested Wednesday after attempting to board a flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta; five days after passing through layers of airport security at New York’s JFK airport to board a plane with a day-old boarding pass.
Noibi managed to get through every layer of security with a fake ID and numerous boarding passes, at least one of which came from another passenger’s pocket, ABC News has learned.
TSA would’ve spotted the guy if he were disguised as a 3 year old girl or a 95-year-old woman in a wheelchair, but this leads us to suspect the surest way for a man-caused disaster maker to avoid detection would be to disguise himself as a man-caused disaster maker.
No harm, no foul. The system still works, correct?
Of course, Noibi may really be a scout, scoping out the weak spots for the guys with the bombs. Time will tell.
But if any toddlers or handicapped women try to pull anything, TSA will be waiting for them.
