security checkpoint

Just ran into this as I started my short vacation the other day.

So many questions. The first that comes to mind: Did some TSA worker have an experience with snow globes similar to The Anchoress’ experience with fruit?

    I’ve only seen this notice at Christmastime. Folk get snowglobes as gifts, then try to fly with them. Might be bombs, ya know. Maybe where you go, it’s Christmas year-round? :)

    To be fair, such a device could be filled with sarin or a biological agent, and thrown or smashed on the floor to release it. Perhaps not likely; but then, neither was flying planes into buildings once upon a time.
