You don’t go to work for the TSA because you got a 1600 on your SAT.

I'm convinced that having a sense of humor is a disqualification to be a TSA agent lol

Ah shit, I said lol now I'm on the disqualified list :(

I wonder how many people think they are "hilarious" when talking with TSA.

You shake the ball, it responds 'ask again later'...

... except there is also now a blinking red led, which is blinking more and more rapidly.

Sounds like a great writing prompt.

Jimmy swore up and down that he didn't know that the magic 8 ball could do that. Unfortunately for him, the TSA agents were unable to hear him over the increasingly louder and more rapid beeping sounds made by said magic 8 ball. Within moments, Jimmy was on the ground with the weight of a TSA agent on his back and the cool steel of a handgun pressed to his neck.

"Don't fucking move," ordered a TSA agent. Another agent immediately followed up with, "I'll blow your head off if you try anything." As the magic 8 ball liked to say to him sometimes, for Jimmy, his outlook was not so good.

Sounds like a thermal detonator……

Plot twist: the liquid inside the ball is nitroglycerin.

Plot plot twist: is plain water for the kid to drink.

You can't trust the 8-ball in this situation, it's biased.

Indeed. It's a 2:1 ratio of affirmative to negative responses.
