Default Women drives thru gate @RSW, shuts airport

https://nbc-2.com/news/crime/2022/03...yIwApvTJAzjs_c

She crashed her car thru a gate and drove on the runway which of course shut down the airport. When caught by police she called them "Dirty Rats" and later threatened to "blow their brains out".
She's sitting in jail on a $205,000 bond.

Was the female driver acting alone or did she have a female accomplice?

Question

How did they know she was a woman? Was there a biologist on staff to identify her as such?

Why would that matter? I thought one had to self-identify as a woman to be a woman?

Cut me some slack, it was almost 2am when I posted that LOL. That lady is going to get hammered for this because she dared pull back the curtain and expose the "Great TSA Wizard" as a fraud. A terrorist could have been driving a car bomb and waited until a large airliner showed up and then crashed the gate and killed 150-200 people. It did set off alarms when she crashed the gate but it's doubtful any authorities could have intercepted the car in time if she had been intent on doing harm rather than just DUI.

Meh.

The TSA system is mainly intended to prevent surreptitious access to aircraft, to prevent them from being hijacked or blown up in flight. It did that.

If you want to truck-bomb a crowd, there are many easier places to do it. Much easier. Hell you don't even need a bomb, just a truck.

In all honesty no one operating in and out of RSW noticed any difference in their typical delays. Place been a sh*tshow the last few months.

Sorry Rick, had to correct you there.
As long as you don’t pack a water bottle next to your IED you’ll be in for success.

Hijack a gasoline tanker and park it on the tracks at a crossing 20 seconds ahead of one of the high speed Amtrack trains. Might be the biggest transportation disaster in US history. Concepts like what I posted are dealt with well in advance by solid intelligence and police work. Nothing as 911 proved is 100%.
