Arriving in Saskatoon, Canada for a concert, Christian McBride found his bow was missing. He posted on Facebook:

 

Now that it’s confirmed, I can tell you that good ol’ TSA confiscated (aka STOLE) my brand new bow right out of my hard case yesterday. I arrived in Saskatoon only to find the bow missing inside the case to my Lemur Travel Bass. Maybe they thought it was a weapon (idiotic), or they were looking for ivory, of which there wasn’t any. I will get to the bottom of this.

When will the Obama Administration recognise that the TSA is out of control?
