Agents with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at a West Virginia airport were in for a shock Wednesday when a carry-on bag ignited as it passed through a security checkpoint. (www.foxnews.com) Mehr...
Despite it being from faux news: illicitly carried hazmat or dangerous goods (including various battery technologies) remain a significant safety threat when carry on luggage becomes a mandatory gate check (out of bin space). Better tools are needed to educate the traveling public, as well as more reliable detection systems. This is a big problem for carriers today. TSA does a good job but we need to do better.
Like the way it was written couldn't figure out why a bag would ignite but hey its a reporter trying to figure things out after all it turns out to be batteries again not a bag.
We can only punt him for foul language, personal assaults or vindictive lies about your person. Any use of the F word. You get the general idea. But it has to be provable. Then email flight aware Squawks citing the circumstances. They will get back to you promptly. If they they agree that person is gone. If not they receive a reprimand.
This is not some devious plot to confuse you. The backpack was on fire, the fire was extinguished. Investigation revealed that lithium batteries ignited. All this was clearly stated in the article.
I’m no fan of Fox News, but the article simply reports that there was a fire and that it was extinguished. The never said that it was caused by batteries. They said, “for example,” in reference to a rule about batteries.
But then have to go on one of your poorly thought out, non-punctuated tirades about why you don’t like people who report news. You are basically a huge douchebag.
I think both of you need glasses. I never saw any hint of an idea "couldn't figure out why a bag would ignite" but I did read " Officials later determined that the small explosion was caused by two lithium batteries attached to a charger."
the article states the same person had been detained 2 days before for having a loaded weapon..good grief!i remember once several years back, before all the regulations and tsa x rays of luggage,when an agent checked a bag for a person at the ticket counter at ny local airport,and inside was a loaded gun..well, when she put the bag on the bag belt,the gun went off and the bullet shot through the suitcase into her foot!that was before cell phones and batteries were a problem!
No where in the article does it say "the same person had been detained 2 days before for having a loaded weapon"..it does state "a man was stopped for traveling with a loaded handgun at the same air hub," Same air hub!
