Story says the screener doesn't work for TSA anymore.

A University of Michigan student boarding a plane in Philadelphia to return to Ann Arbor from winter break got a big fright in the form of a prank by an airport security screener.

Rebecca Solomon, 22, a U-M psychology student from Wynnewood, Pa., outside Philadelphia, said she was going through security at Philadelphia International Airport Jan. 5 – less than two weeks after the alleged Dec. 25 bombing attempt on Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit – when a screener stopped her, wouldn’t let her take her bags and pulled a baggie of white powder from her computer case.

“Where did you get this from?” the guard asked her, according to an article she wrote for the Michigan Daily, the U-M student newspaper.

Solomon wrote that she panicked, thinking a terrorist or drug smuggler had slipped something into the bag.

“Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with him to understand that I’d never seen this baggie before,” Solomon wrote. “But as I emotionally tried to explain that I couldn’t explain, he started to smile, an odd reaction to such a monumental find in my things. Then he waved the baggie at me and told me he was kidding, that I should’ve seen the look on my face.”

Wow. Good to see him get canned.

Every time I pop across the border, in the back of my mind I'm a little worried about someone actually slipping something into my car,

Sounds like a pitch for the worst reality prank show on TV.

I'm worried they're gonna realize my spare tire and seats are packed with cocaine and heroin.

That sounds like something Michael Scott would do if he worked for the TSA.

I thought the same thing.

Somebody should have pranked that guy with a tire iron.
