Anonymous Coward User ID: 62943071 United States 10/13/2014 03:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know the story about Dr. Mobley donning the Protective Suit to board a plane in Atlanta is old news, but this is the only source I could find that reported the fact that the TSA actually insisted that he surrender the suit, which he had already taken off prior to boarding the plane. Quoting: eternity2 SNIP Dr. Gil Mobley, a microbiologist and emergency trauma physician, said his protective gear was taken away after he boarded his Delta flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. He removed the protective gear — space suit coveralls, hood mask, goggles, gloves and boots with "CDC is Lying" written on the back of the coveralls — once he reached the gate. "They gave me the option of confiscating my equipment or not flying," Mobley said. [link to www.usatoday.com] -- Those suits cost hundreds of dollars, by the way. I don't know if they have returned it to the good doctor. The paper suit he was wearing is not hundreds of dollars. The most expensive thing he was wearing are the goggles. The suit he was wearing coasts $6.00 [link to www.jamestowndistributors.com] |
