Boxcutters sneaked aboard airliner at JFK
 The two TSA agents and supervisor who completely missed the blades at a security checkpoint "will all be disciplined and undergo remedial training," said spokeswoman Ann Davis. Eusebio D. Peraltalajara, 45, of Jersey City waltzed past the screeners on his way to a Dominican Republic-bound flight, the sources said. Once aboard Santiago-bound Flight 837, flight attendant Fausto Penaloda, 40, asked him to stow his luggage in the overhead storage bin. As Peraltalajara's shoved it into the compartment, Penaloda saw the boxcutters fall out of the bag, according to a police report. And then the fight began, as the joke goes. More proof that we don't need the TSA. This kind of thing only gets reported if they are caught. And I know darned well that the line will show up "they were sleeping at their posts", and I know just as well that they were proably wide awake, happy to be doing a job that doesn't need to be done, and keeping their mouths shut about the whole fiasco as long as the paychecks keep rolling in. I know darned well that some higher-ups are going to get all fussy about the fact that the public has been reminded once again that we don't need the TSA, but is happy to make a big hooplah about how they are going to be retrained and give No-Doz and that the "problem" will go away, and all will go back to normal, with everyone's paychecks rolling in, and that those even higher up will continue to have their cash cow to milk for votes and graft.
