Fake Badge gets guy abord flight.
And the best part is, he didn't get arrested until he bitched in a bar.
http://www.usatoday.com/travel/fligh...l-flight_N.htm MIAMI (AP) - Authorities say a man running late for a flight flashed a fake police badge to airline workers and claimed to be an air marshal so they would let him through the gate. Miami-Dade police said a 49-year-old man was booked on a flight to Los Angeles Wednesday night, but the gate had already closed and the plane was departing. After he showed the fake badge and claimed to be an air marshal, employees stopped the plane and let him board. But real air marshals already on the plane recognized his fake badge and kicked him off. Not content with avoiding arrest, police said the man went to an airport bar and began loudly complaining about missing his flight. That's when airport police arrested him. The man was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer |

I would have expected the real air marshalls to have held him for imediate arrest, rather than letting him go. Oh well. Just when you start thinking those guys aint all dummies, they pull a f**k up like that. That's a HUGE offense, impersonating a federal LEO. Apparently, *they* didn't think it was so serious. |

Apparently, *they* didn't think it was so serious. Unfortunately there are effectively two "theys" here. The feds, who stayed on the plane I'd suspect (which is in and of itself a bit odd since they aren't suppose to be ID'ed). The police two whom I suspect he was given. The police probably didn't feel much like dealing with a cross jurisdictional issue. The article blames it on his blabbering, but for all we know they got a call telling them to go find the guy. His mouth may have been just a side effect of it all. |

I don't know how much you fly, but most air marshalls stick out like a sore thumb. The police two whom I suspect he was given. The police probably didn't feel much like dealing with a cross jurisdictional issue. Most likely you're right. The article blames it on his blabbering, but for all we know they got a call telling them to go find the guy. His mouth may have been just a side effect of it all. I think you're right again. |

Sure, but like most things TSA, it's what they think they're doing that matters, not how well they do it. |
