Applesauce Slapfight- With Video!!!

Thursday night fun at the roadhouse? No, just the Burbank TSA.
A woman and her 93 year old mother tried to take food through the TSA checkpoint at the Bob Hope Airport. As one would expect, anyone who thinks that they are going to get a cooler of applesauce and cottage cheese past the BUR TSA, is the type of person to get themselves a bit worked up- impolitely so.
So how do the professional men and woman of the TSA deal with the situation? Talk her down? Professionally impose authority? Nope- as we can see in the Full Story below (video on the upper right of the page), by trying to snatch her cooler away while two other agents stand by watching. Eventually they get around to handcuffing and arresting her for misdemeanor battery. What other organization that deals face to face, one on one with the public on a daily basis could take an apparently stressed person and start something worthy of a elementary school playground fight.
A playground fight that ends in a trial. Expect the prosecution for the TSA to cite as precedent 'I know you are but what am I?'.
