You want to hear scary security stories?

Both my bosses were on the way to the midwest for business and were wearing Carhartt jackets with our company logo on them.

Now keep in mind our company is Dino Fuel Alternatives and the logo on the jackets say DFA underlined with the name spelled out in the underlining, the same logo is on the front in smaller sizing. They have some carry on including cell phones and laptops and have checked in two toolboxes as well.

So they are standing in line to get through the checkpoint and security comes up and says, "If you gentlemen will come with us we will expedite you through".

So they look at each other mildly confused and go with the security who walks them to the other side of the security barrier and tells them to have a nice flight.

Now not once did they ask for ID or ask them what agency they were with, they just assumed they were with the DEA because of the jackets.

So they get on the plane and another passenger taps one of them on the shoulder and makes a comment about how it must be nice to get that kind of treatment. They look at the guy and tell him to look at the name on the jackets a bit better and that this is one scary mistake if they had some sort of ill intent.

So is the hassle really doing anything? nope not a bit when the complete morons working the frontlines have no clue how to do their jobs properly.

MOSCOW (AFP) - Authorities evacuated the airport terminal in Vladivostok, in Russia's far east, after a flight arriving from Seoul set off a radiation alarm.

The alarm was called off when security officials pinpointed the source -- a woman who had just received radiation therapy, Interfax news agency reported Thursday.

The woman was released when it was established that South Korean doctors had treated her with iodine-131, a radioactive isotope used in nuclear medicine, giving her a level of radioactivity 15 times greater than the norm.

"Iodine 131 is a short-lived isotope, so the passenger should be back to normal in a month," Interfax quoted a customs spokeswoman at Vladivostok airport as saying.
