TSA mistakes insulin pump for gun, causing LAX security scare

An insulin pump mistaken for a gun at LAX led officials to delay boarding and screening Friday morning at Terminal 4 as airport authorities searched for a woman who they thought had a weapon, law enforcement sources said.

The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. as the female passenger was being screened at Los Angeles International Airport. She went through electronic screening, which detected an item shaped like a weapon, the sources said.

These alphabet agencies need to go.  TSA?  DHS?  Waste of ****ing time and money.  But the government employees have collective bargaining rights!  That's what is important in the greater scheme of things.

Terminal 4--American Airlines.  Bet that was a royal goatrope.

Usually that crap happens at Terminal 1 and screws up the ENTIRE AIRPORT.
