CNN has produced a report that should knock the warm and fuzzy feelings out of any air traveler that thinks for a minute that all the so called “security measures” in place at U.S. airports protect them from anything.

The Transportation Security Administration permitted CNN to accompany an official on an undercover test of airport screeners at Tampa International Airport. The fake terrorist managed to smuggle a mock bomb concealed inside an elastic back support right past security screeners.

Meet Daniel Dean Thompson, the 31-year-old owner of Flix Club which is a Utah business that sells so called “family-friendly tapes and DVDs” which are Hollywood films with the “dirty parts” cut out of them.

Isn’t that nice of Daniel, making sure that the kids don’t see any of that nasty sex and violence stuff?

Unfortunately for Daniel he is accused of not practicing what he preaches.

Daniel has been busted on allegations of sexual abuse and unlawful sexual activity with a 14-year-old.

A couple of them, as a matter of fact.

It seems that one of the girl’s mom found a $20 bill in her daughter’s pocket, asked where it came from and the girl confessed that she and a friend had been paid for sexual favors by an older male.

Cops say that older male was Ol Dan not acting “family friendly” with a couple of kids.

Whoopsy…
