When they're not groping our genitals or practicing pointless security theater, occasionally the TSA gets it right, like when they patted down Henry Kissinger at La Guardia last Friday. According to the Washington Post, TSA agents didn't recognize who Kissinger was, and subjected him to "the full Monty"—a complete pat-down. Surely the TSA agents were aware that Kissinger won a Nobel Prize for ending the Vietnam War, but they were likely cognizant of the role he played in Chile's military coup in 1973 in making people "disappear." So spread 'em, "Heinz," if that's your real name.
The freelance reporter who witnessed the pat-down said Kissinger later asked an aide what was being served for breakfast on his flight to Toronto.
Informed that it would be ham and eggs, Kissinger asked his associate if he could locate an alternative meal. “But do they have any schnitzel?” he inquired.
That seemed to be less a genuine request and more of an inside joke, Cole said, since the aide and Kissinger both laughed.
Schnitzel? Sounds like a No-Fly justification to us.
