OK, so my wife had her interview today with TSA to obtain her Global Entry card and during the interview they brought up the fact that in 2008 when she was returning to the U.S. from some foreign country that she was caught carrying.......wait for it........prepare yourself for a shocker.......a HAM SANDWICH!!!!!! Yes, I must admit that she purchased a ham sandwich in the airport, carried it on the flight and did not consume it. TSA, despite probably missing weapons, drugs, counterfeit money and all other forms of contraband found her ham sandwich and actually noted it in her travel record.

She barely vaguely remembered it and it was such a non-event at the time but here we are, five years later and they are not sure whether she will be approved as a trusted traveler because she had a frigging ham sandwich. Common sense died along with all those people on 9/11. Does anyone wonder why I would eliminate DHS and TSA if given the chance?
