"The Transportation Security Administration says a checkpoint screener spotted the item in Xie's carry-on luggage as she headed for an Orlando, Fla.-bound flight at Kennedy Airport. The TSA says the device initially just appeared to be a flashlight, but the screener looked more closely and saw it also was a stun gun."

So a gun, explosives and a stun gun on consecutive days. Damn that TSA, robbing Americans of their freedom..

You can opt out the scanners and pat downs existed prior to TSA..We know have screeners who've had backgrounds done and formalized training. Nice work by them...
