Philadelphia Airport security is doing a great job


I'd like to thank the men and women of the TSA for their continued vigilance in protecting our country.

A Cowboys fan is convinced she was unfairly targeted by airport security screeners at Philadelphia International Airport because of the Jason Witten jersey she was wearing.

Alyson Galen tells CBS in 3 in Dallas that she was pulled out of a security line last month and patted down before even getting to a metal detector.  A screener approached her after she was cleared.

"He walked up to me and said 'how's it feel to be a Cowboys fan in Philadelphia?' . . . I did tell him 'wow,'" Galen said.

I know that personally I get suspicious when I see these soulless bandwagon jumpers walking around Philadelphia... Of course, I usually just ask them what part of Dallas they're from. To this day I've never gotten an answer.

Seriously though, this woman wants an explanation and an apology from TSA officials... I don't know if she follows the news very much, but they're called "random screenings" for a reason. They can stop anyone at any time regardless of whether they're suspicious or not.

I like how tsa gave her the most vanilla response ever. Pretty sure they copied that straight from a brochure.

There’s a level of class and sophistication in that lady that you don’t often see.

Now the real reason.....

They said she was on her way to a family members funeral, meaning she must’ve booked the flight only a few days before; anyone who books a flight only is a few days in advance is usually scheduled for these “random screenings” has happened to me twice. Now stfu you dumb fat cowboys fan.

No one was joking...

Your not the only person pulled out of line during the day you dumbass. They don’t need to have an explanation for pulling people out of line.

She should’ve replied, “You like cheesesteaks? Good luck finding a roll in this town, because I’m taking so many home to Dallas with me.”

Well, I presume a Cowboys fan from Philly is also someone who roots for the Russians in the Olympics (THEY WERE THE BEST WHEN i WAS A KID!), and it’s not too much farther of a leap in logic to suggest that she was picked out not for being a Cowboys fan, but as a suspected Russian spy.

Nice work TSA, nice work.

I like where your head is on this one.

by Cormican on Feb 19, 2010 9:56 AM EST up reply actions  

That was a truly great job

I think anybody in or around Philadelphia wearing Cowboys shit should be stopped, frisked, questioned and locked up. Go to Texas if you want to wear/root for that piece of shit organization!

I saw a potential terrorist...

She was wearing a “smedium” Witten jersey that was three times too small. I couldn’t tell if she had plastic explosives under her shirt, or 26 lbs of mozzarella.

That’s one non-terrorist who SHOULD be wearing a Burka!

It's "Kolb"ering time!

lmao

I really do want to say that today’s security is faaaaar, far too tight and that it needs to be loosen up at bit (damn you Bush!).

…but I’m cool with this.

RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.

She deserved it.

This dumb broad was wearing a cowboys jersey in a philly airport in february. She deserved it. What kind of white trash wear a football jersey to an airport anyways. As far as i’m concerned she got off easy. I would of spit in her face and kept her in that room til she missed her flight.
