When you go through the Albany International Airport checkpoint you won't have to worry about having a small amount of marijuana on you. If you have a small amount of pot, TSA agents and police will no longer seize it, arrest you, or even issue a ticket not just at Albany International Airport but airports across New York state. Officials say it's not something security officers are looking for when they pat you down or search your bags.
TSA is looking to hire 25 positions at Albany International, Syracuse Hancock International, and Buffalo-Niagara International Airports in the next few months as a part of a national effort to hire more TSA officers ahead of the summer travel season. Apply HERE.
Since 9/11, the TSA has made airport security stricter than we've ever seen - for good reason. Now, a few airports are going back to the way things used to be and changing who's allowed through security.
A hot topic today is this video, of a 10-year-old girl who needed extra screening, because she forgot to remove a Capri Sun juice pouch from her carry-on luggage.
Is this really necessary?
And how awkward is this?
This video is just creepy, and I have seen a lot of creepy things on and off the internet, but I have never seen something as creepy as this, I know that the TSA woman is just doing her
On The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show they talked about the TSA Agents in Denver, Colorado who admitted to fondling male passengers during screenings. They just think that they can get away with anything in Colorado, don't they?
Typically, we are not really fans of these kinds of videos where people try to put police or other officials in their place and record their interactions with them.
But this guy is just doing it right.
A drunk guy was busted at San Francisco International Airport this week after he had a few drinks, then decided to pose as a TSA agent and start patting people down in private booths used by the TSA for screening.
The rules of what you CAN and CANNOT take on a plane via carry on and checked in baggage is out there for the public to read up on. Yet, still some people try to push their luck and sneak items on board. Some play dumb but in certain cases you can't; like trying to a gun on a plane (just saying).
