Failback Position: Southwest Shinobi

It's time again for a Failback Position. This is the feature where we go back into the eight quadjillion past fails of the TSA and select one at random to reflect upon. Perhaps we laugh, perhaps we cry, most likely we vomit in our mouths a bit at the ongoing pattern of failure.
Today's Failback Position comes from just before Halloween, 2003. The eagle eyed TSA screeners at the Oakland International Airport overlooked the contents of the violin case of one particular passenger. A passenger who was packing... what else... nunchuks. How do we know that said passenger boarded the flight with nunchuks (other than reading the details in the Full Story below)? He started waving them around the plane until he was tackled and restrained- of course.
Clearly, the OAK TSA can be forgiven for not spotting the weapon in the passengers luggage- they were up against a freakin' ninja! That's the whole point of ninjas... you just can't stop them!! Although, you would think that the mask, turtle shell and passport simply reading 'Michelangelo' might have been a tip off.
