Groping for Immunity

SAY WHAT?

1)TSA screeners win immunity from abuse claims. Fliers may have difficult time recovering damages for an invasive screening, aka groping. A ruling claims under a federal law that governs assaults, false arrests and abuses, since TSA screeners are not investigative or law enforcement officers this law doesn't apply. During a pat down, should the agent suffer a sudden attack of uncontrollable hand wandering this scenario could play out. Passenger: "Hey watch it."  TSA Screener: "Oh Yeah, YOU watch it. I got immunity."  



2) Lancaster mayor, R. Rx Parris has proposed the city consider banning local requiring the wearing of neckties. A new study shows a necktie, especially one tied too tight, may lower the blood flow to the brain. That might explain some people's behavior. A municipal law expert says that any city that tried to impose a no necktie policy on a local employer would probably run into legal problems. So, no neckties tied on people could be tied up in court. OK, that wasn't one of the best ones

3) Although there has been loud opposition to the latest Supreme Court nominee, as of yet, it doesn't appear to have had much effect. However, this could do it. If this doesn't keep this guy off the Supreme Court, nothing will. It seems, according to a roommate at Yale, Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh ate pasta with ketchup!!! When told about this Nancy Pelosi, was reported to have said, "Who in the world would eat pasta with ketchup, and by the way, who in the world is Brett Kavanaugh?"

4) I wonder if after all the protests and nonsense during his trip to Europe, President Trump flying home on Air Force One, didn't say to himself, "So, no big deal. I'm still President." I wonder if, after the California Democrat party didn't endorse Diane Feinstein she didn't say to herself, "So, no big deal. I'm still going to win." I wonder if Sarah Huckabee Sanders, after having tea with the Queen, didn't say to herself, "So, no big deal. Not being served at the Red Hen. I just had tea with the Queen Of England."

5) And finally, an Original Murphy's Law.You Should Always Do Your Best.But You Should Never Admit Admit That It WAS Your Best.
