Now Americans Are Punching Their TSA Agents

by Jack Stuef  6:29 pm November 17, 2010

Hmm, maybe this generally apathetic country will actually rise up against something! They really don’t want other people to see their privates; they just want to see other people’s privates. Anyway, if you do any sort of thing to TSA agents right now, you will be famous!

According to police, John A. Christina, 51, admitted to punching the officer after passing through the machine and asking the officer about increased security procedures. The officer replied that he does not normally work in Indianapolis and could not answer the question.

Christina then punched the officer in the chest, police said. The officer, who is normally assigned to the Dayton, Ohio, airport, asked Christina why he punched him.

“I was only kidding with you,” Christina replied.

Yeah, this doesn’t make any sense. Maybe the radiation cooked his brain? [WP]

Doesn't everybody punch people from Dayton?

Or maybe a Post editor changed "tongue-punched the officer's fartbox" to "punched the officer in the chest." It's not like a Richard Cohen column — someone might actually have edited the story.

No. You are confusing "punch" with "lust after".

j/k you would probably hit me with a tire iron if you met me. Most people do.

Krugmanic Depressive November 17, 2010 at 7:32 pm

As a fellow Gem City native, I believe I only got punched after drinking down at Carillon Park or the Shed. Tire irons are reserved for folks from Tipp City.

Krugmanic Depressive November 17, 2010 at 7:35 pm

The following people from Dayton are exempt from punching:
Robert Pollard
Kim and Kelly Deal
Erma Bombeck
Jonathan Winters
Gordon Jump's character from WKRP
The Wright Brothers

…The rest of us are fair game

Dave Chappelle is from nearby Yellow Springs — throw him in just to make sure he does not get collateral damage. Also, isn't the band Guided by Voices from Dayton?

Krugmanic Depressive November 17, 2010 at 7:43 pm

Pollard is GBV, so, yes, he goes first, because he needs the most protection. Chappelle and everyone from out by Antioch exists in a protective haze of pot smoke, so they're fine.

Particularly when in Indian-No-Place. I mean, the guy was asking for it!

kenlayisalive November 17, 2010 at 8:13 pm

Kim Deal, totally way cooler than Frank Black. Just sayin'.

el_donaldo November 18, 2010 at 12:53 pm

Well, she probably has better weed.

sarjo November 17, 2010 at 9:08 pm

Sorry. Just seeing their names on a list makes it clear they need punchin'.

JustPixelz November 18, 2010 at 12:28 pm

The Wright Brothers built that first airplane in Dayton. That explains Christina's terrorist fist bump.

Gratuitous World November 17, 2010 at 6:45 pm

Can't wait to take the journey with TLC's new show 'John Christina's Ohio'

Hilarious joke, though. can't wait to use it on my next flight.

natoslug November 17, 2010 at 7:31 pm

Is that it? That's the revolution? Jesus Fuck, people! I expected bloodshed and mayhem and total anarchy. You've totally feminized this thing. Jesus would've gone in there and ripped some heads off and shat down a few random necks, like in the book of Luke. FuckEn liberal fa**ots!

mayor_quimby November 17, 2010 at 8:52 pm

Fo reals, I haven't even gotten to beat a zombie, fuck a fellow officer's wife, nothing!
I still have bullets left, goddammit, I want chaos!
Also, am I now an illegal foreigner? Because I would assume that based on the Axis bank money remittance ad on the right? Wrong kind of brown, Wonkette ad targeter, I only use Sharia Eastern Union money transfers

sarjo November 17, 2010 at 9:08 pm

Yeah, it's over. You missed it? Sorry.

HistoriCat November 18, 2010 at 9:33 am

"What did you do during the revolution daddy?"
"Slept through it – sorry."

ttommyunger November 17, 2010 at 7:49 pm

Jesus Christ, isn't it enough they've got that shitty job and some incompetent dick for a supervisor; now you've got to punch him/her in the bargain? Go punch somebody who deserves it, like Mitch "Turtle Boy" McConnell.

Negropolis November 18, 2010 at 12:13 am

Hey, it comes with the territory. If you don't want to fondle a grown-assed man, don't go to work for the TSA.

ttommyunger November 18, 2010 at 8:51 am

I suspect Mitch would like an excuse to fondle grown-ass men. You can bet that hot asian wife of his don't give him the time of day, 'cept maybe on his birthday and Christmas.

Gleem_McShineys November 17, 2010 at 8:00 pm

Somebody just made it to the top of the Sphincter Search list, for life.

mavenmaven November 17, 2010 at 8:07 pm

terrorist fist jab maybe?

Redhead November 17, 2010 at 8:29 pm

Good for him.

Now next time aim for the nose, and harder.

sarjo November 17, 2010 at 9:06 pm

Wow, smart move, Mr. Christina (fag, obvs!). Is TSA-assisted suicide the next hula-hoop?

ragnarok4msm November 17, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Christian side-hug, Islamic body-touching(stonings).Now TSA tapping(punching)

TanzbodenKoenig November 17, 2010 at 10:00 pm

Well it's only fair. I they are gonna tickle my taint I get at least one free shot. It's what the founders would have wanted.

awesome_dude November 17, 2010 at 10:04 pm

"The officer, who is normally assigned to the Dayton, Ohio, airport, asked Christina why he punched him."

Yeah, Christina, with your small, feminine, lady hands, why did you… he… punch… … him… … … ?

sarjo November 17, 2010 at 10:26 pm

Just to feel the texture…niiiiice.

SayItWithWookies November 17, 2010 at 10:52 pm

It's like the French Revolution in our airports. The PG-17, slow-motion, fairy-tale French Revolution, where Louis and Marie Antoinette's heads are sewn back on, say they've learned their lesson, are restored to the throne and then nothing changes.

Negropolis November 18, 2010 at 12:15 am

No; Lou and Mary never lose their heads in the first place. They are simply and lightly karate chopped about the neck, and are then sent on their way back to the palace.

ifthethunderdontgetya November 17, 2010 at 11:17 pm

Die M-Effers!

Negropolis November 18, 2010 at 12:12 am

First off, where the fuck is this that you can punch a guy and he then politely asks you why you punched him? Where I'm from, your punch a man in the chest, you better be expecting a punch back. Instantly. Also.

finallyhappy November 18, 2010 at 9:32 am

I have to fly next week- too bad someone like Christian Bale doesn't work for TSA.

jugzler November 18, 2010 at 10:17 am

Holy smokes! Christine O'Donnell's I Am You spell has started with some minor hiccups: John A Christina

7pilesofwisdom November 18, 2010 at 11:31 am

As a result, Cristina is now ranked number four in the cruiser weight division by the WBA, and the TSA agent is number two. Number one is "No Boy."

el_donaldo November 18, 2010 at 12:55 pm

His name is John and Cristina. I think he's just confused.

Rarian Rakista November 18, 2010 at 1:28 pm

If someone was feeling up my junk without pushing dollars into my g-string I would have an overwhelming desire to donkey punch him.
