(Newser) – More bad press for the TSA? Possibly: A stun gun somehow made it onto a JetBlue flight from Boston to Newark last Friday, the Star-Ledger reports. The crew found the weapon tucked into a seat back as the plane was being cleaned after a late-night flight. A Port Authority spokesperson says it's not clear who it belonged to or how it got on board. It has been turned over to TSA officials. Click for another recent TSA scandal.

They seem to want to blame JetBlue but this clearly is a case that the TSA were to busy patting down well endowed young ladies or causing embarrassment to the elderly and allowed a weapon the be smuggled aboard If anything the Jetblue employees who found the iten even after the flight should be commended Meanwhile in other news a cat farted in Portland or Portland farted on a cat, what ever it takes to distract the public from concentrating on important news such as Amerika turning into a third workd country more and more each day To the rich this is a grand thing, they can hire the average worker for 35 cents per hour whch makes big business giddy And they say the market crash and banking fiasco were not planned

Who just forgets their stun gun on a plane? This was clearly a plant designed to make TSA look bad.
