"What time's your flight" fuck you, son. Like go fuuuuuck yourself. I didn't do anything wrong. It's innocent until proven guilty –

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

Not guilty until Omar and Shequan realize their manual only takes them to the 3rd pay down and after that the page had been ripped out so

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

Some TSA FUCKSTICK could roll a joint on a lunch break.

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

Paranoid even though u have no drugs? Then I started thinking, Oh no… Someone taught Mongo and Company to read and they've seen my tweets!

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

As self involved as that sounds like, what if? What if one of these guys learned words and knew about my rants? And they were fucking w me

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

MEANWHILE I watched an elderly Asian TSA man remove a giant can of hairspray and of LUBE from some girl's bag and then he walked away…

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

So the frizzy haired/super horned up girl goes to put the 20oz items BACK in her bag! And some ransoms TSA tumbleweed happened to drift by

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

And was like "uh, you can't have that"-way to screen for the bad stuff and then do nothing. MEANWHILE I still wasn't allowed to touch Bebo!

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014

Also? 45 min, 1 "explosive (diarrhea) expert and 3 pat downs later? I still walked away with a can of mace attached to my car keys.

— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) April 24, 2014
