IN THE NEWS
I know it's hard to make out what this TSA employee is doing in this picture, so I'll provide a little explanation. I was on my way home from a business trip last week when I got through security, put my shoes and belt back on, turned around, and saw the TSA agent in question sitting a few feet away, absorbed in something he was doing on his laptop.
As it turns out, he was playing World of Warcraft.
I assume he was on break, and the laptop in use was not a government system. (It's tough to install anything on a government computer, since the "image' is usually pretty locked down.) Still, it was a bit of a surprise to see someone from the TSA keeping us safe from trolls and dragons.
Sorry for the bad picture. I snapped it with the camera in my cell phone, so the quality is less than optimal.
What airport? And did others notice? Did other TSA employees notice?

Good questions, Chris. Can we have more details?

The TSA at maximum effectiveness. Hilarious, yet sad.

Kingdaddy, didn't you commit a federal offense by taking that photo?
