Агент ФБР встречается с TSA:
Once, when approaching screening for a flight on official FBI business, I showed my badge as I had done for decades in order to bypass screening. (You can be envious, but remember, I was one less person in line.) I was asked for my form which showed that I was armed. I was unarmed on this flight because my ultimate destination was a foreign country. I was told, "Then you have to be screened." This logic startled me, so I asked, "If I tell you I have a high-powered weapon, you will let me bypass screening, but if I tell you I'm unarmed, then I have to be screened?" The answer? "Yes. Exactly."
Или вот так:
Another time, I was bypassing screening (again on official FBI business) with my .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol, and a TSA officer noticed the clip of my pocket knife. "You can't bring a knife on board," he said. I looked at him incredulously and asked, "The semi-automatic pistol is okay, but you don't trust me with a knife?" His response was equal parts predictable and frightening, "But knives are not allowed on the planes."
Если бы мне поручили спланировать максимально идиотскую систему, я бы, наверное, такого не придумал. Воображения бы не хватило.

С ножом - то же самое. Почему все забывают, что на американского судью (который сделан из того же теста, что и офицеры ТСА) обычная логика не действует в той же степени? Доводы ушлого адвоката будут совершенно ясными - есть правило, что сотруднику ФБР разрешается проносить на борт пистолет "в рамках исполнения служебных обязанностей", как табельное оружие. Нож не относится к табельному оружию сотрудника ФБР, следовательно, не нужен ему на борту "в рамках исполнения служебных обязанностей". Если ТСА разрешает проносить сотрудникам ФБР на борт ножи просто так, то тем самым оно дискриминирует обычных граждан, которым это запрещено. Любой начальник в ТСА постарается избежать подобных ситуаций и предпочтет тупо исполнить инструкцию, прикрыв свой зад.
