Philly.Com - A Transportation Security Administration worker who pretended to find drugs in a passenger's bag at Philadelphia International Airport in January had played the prank more than once and told one of his victims that "she would have to admit it was funny," according to TSA documents...The TSA officer was supposed to be checking equipment instead of passengers, the documents said, and the white substance he had with him was creatine powder, not cocaine. When he tried to trick his second victim, presumably Solomon, with the creatine, she did not take it well.
Now this is the kind of fun and games I was talking about yesterday. Just good, clean, fun...until this Solomon character came along and ruined everything. Only someone who actually had something to hide would be upset here because this is quite possibly the prank of the year so far. I'd say there is a 50-50 shot that Rebecca Solomon actually is a drug mule. The only mistake he made here was playing the prank on a chic. A common rookie mistake, chic's just do not take practical jokes well. Its a biological defect.
And yes, if it happened to me I'd probably shit a brick at first, I couldn't handle prison, they'd flip me before we even got back to the interrogation room. I'd be giving up sources that don't even exist. I'd give the names of everyone I knew who'd ever smoked a joint or purchased beer for minors, because make no mistake about it, I protect my ass first and foremost (literally). But after they clue me in on the joke I'd be laughing it up with everyone else, I love and respect a good prank. I'd probably join those overpaid security guards for a beer at Cheers or whatever overpriced bar was located in the terminal (I'd also make some calls and tell everyone I just sold out they should probably lay low for a while).
Bottom line is this, if this guy got fired for being a riot then I've got a job for him over here at Alt-Tabs. Weekly segment pulling real pranks on real unsuspecting people and recording. Total compensation: $5 dollars a prank and all the company stock you want.
