| Teen beats TSA |
| 2010-12-12 |
| Normally this event would qualify the lad as a late entry into this year's Darwin Award, but the fact that he could breach all the legions of checkers and security reveals the farce that TSA has foisted upon the public as high drama and low substance. |

| #7 "You would think that the airlines would come up with a cheap fix" Yeah, like a member of the ground crew actually taking a look in the wheel well after pushback. |

| #6 I doubt he froze before oxygen deprivation got him. These wheel well suicides happen way too often. You would think that the airlines would come up with a cheap fix to prevent that. If for no other reason than to protect their landing gear. |

| #5 The kid undoubtedly froze to death enroute....temps at the flight levels are well into the minus category..... |

| #4 Ditto here, my house is also in the path of the runway into Logan. The planes fly so close on final approach or after takeoff, some days you can see the dirt marks on the undercarriage. I won't look at them the same way again. What a horrible way to die. My prayers go out to the family. |

| #3 Well I guess he showed them, huh? That pattern into Logan goes right over my house. Glad I didn't find him on my lawn. |

| #2 I'll bet that was a horrible way to die for the poor kid. My prayers for the family and my gratitude that some of the foolish decisions I made as a teen didn't go as terribly wrong as this. |

| #1 TSA merely saw a possible Somali male walking on the runway and were too busy with granny in the wheelchair. |
