Every so often, there are people that deserve the Dumbshit Award for being complete and total asses. Congratulations Reagan National Airport TSA(RNATSA), you have been given the Dumbshit Award for the month of June.
At RNA, the TSA decided that the world would come to an end if a woman's 19 month old sippy cup gets on to an airplane. So not only do they pry it from the small child, which causes the kid to scream, the pull the mom out of line, with escorts in tow away from the child, still screaming, to harass her for a sippy cup full of water.
A Dumbshit Award is not a light thing to receive it means that you've done especially well in doing something so backwards in face of logic that even can be seen as dumb from any perspective other than your own.
RNATSA, enjoy your Dumbshit Award for the month of June.
"I demanded to speak to a TSA [Transportation Security Administration] supervisor who asked me if the water in the sippy cup was 'nursery water or other bottled water.' I explained that the sippy cup water was filtered tap water. The sippy cup was seized as my son was pointing and crying for his cup. I asked if I could drink the water to get the cup back, and was advised that I would have to leave security and come back through with an empty cup in order to retain the cup. As I was escorted out of security by TSA and a police officer, I unscrewed the cup to drink the water, which accidentally spilled because I was so upset with the situation."At this point, I was detained against my will by the police officer and threatened to be arrested for endangering other passengers with the spilled 3 to 4 ounces of water. I was ordered to clean the water, so I got on my hands and knees while my son sat in his stroller with no shoes on since they were also screened and I had no time to put them back on his feet. I asked to call back my fiancé, who I could still see from afar, waiting for us to clear security, to watch my son while I was being detained, and the officer threatened to arrest me if I moved. So I yelled past security to get the attention of my fiancé.
