It is unclear how Fackrell apparently got a razor on board. In a statement, a Transportation Security Administration spokesperson said the agency is “working closely with the U.S. attorney’s office, the FBI and the Salt Lake City Police Department on this case.”
“We take our responsibility to secure the skies for the traveling public very seriously and are introducing new X-ray technology at more airports to improve our capability to better detect items such as the one used in this incident,” the spokesperson continued. “We commend the actions of the flight attendants and other passengers on this flight.”
On Nov. 11, a commercial flight from Cincinnati to Tampa was diverted to Atlanta after a passenger threatened other passengers with a box cutter, The Associated Press reported. Authorities later found a second box cutter in his belongings.
here we are, with all sorts of fancy security measures that cost billions of dollars and waste countless hours, and we cant even keep dumbass americans from sneaking box cutters on board
also, something tells me that 'merrill darrel fackrell' didnt cross the border, illegally or otherwise, so i'm not sure wtf that has to do w air travel safety.
