Freddie Gibbs: TSA Wrote Note, 'C'mon Son', After Finding Pot In My Bag

Is the TSA at it again?

Rapper Freddie Gibbs claims that an unidentified TSA officer left a note in his checked bag reading "C'Mon Son," after the officer found Gibbs' pot in his bag.

Check out the photo of the note with the pot here.

There are quite a few questions about this, however. Is a TSA agent required to confiscate the illegal drug and turn in the rapper? And did Gibbs really think it was a good idea to bring that much pot on a plane in checked baggage? And if it all checks out, could Gibbs have come in contact with the most generous TSA officer ever?!

Regardless, if it's true, this note-writing by the TSA has to stop. Back in October, a TSA agent, who has since been fired, left a note reading "Get Your Freak On Girl" after finding a vibrator in a woman's checked luggage.

What do you think of Gibbs' tweet? Real or fake?

maybe the agent sampled the stash and found it to be of sub-standard quality....thus the note.

So this is how he repays someone who did him a favor, big time? Someone could lose their job because they gave this punk a break!

Whether or not you think pot should be illegal, you have to be a complete idiot to try and bring it on a plane.

Wonder if the stash weighed the same after he found the note...........(?)........; anyway, the agent may have been more interested in looking for and dealing with real dangers--like explosive devices and such.

People are so double standard. When TSA searched, the comments and the uproar is, "TSA is going too far" now this happen, it's like TSA needs to do their job. What would have happen if this rapper came out and said TSA searched him and he did not like it?

He was carrying drugs, but the agent let him go? Not only is it grounds to be fired, but the groper is subject to prosecution as well. Just one more instance of profiling - if he had been white, he would have been called on it. But what can we expect when the agents are people who can't get jobs anywhere else?

TSA - the only federal agency more hated than the IRS.

Another conservative-created failure. Seems the Republicans can't do anything except waste money and take away our Constitutional rights.

No. I'm pretty sure he wasn't carrying drugs. The article says he had pot.

The whole idea that these TSA people are going through our things without our knowing it is just plain creepy and disgusting. I have found their notes (nothing personal) in my bag a few times on flights NYC-LA and back.

I never put anything in a checked bag that is of any value and when I find one of their notes indicating they have rummaged through my stuff - everything gets thrown in the washing machine. Just creepy.

But, now, 99% of my trips, I only take a carry on for the convenience. It's bad enough these people have the right to touch your person and x-ray you, having them paw your stuff is just another invasion of privacy.

Who cares if his pot was left alone and there was a note? I sure don't.

They don't have the right to x-ray you. You can do a simple opt out. Then you get the enhanced patdown. Better than cancer or naked photos. Do a search of TSA at flyertalk.com to see which airports have the most egregious TSA offenses.

What do you mean "these TSA people are going through our things without our knowing"? If you check a bag, there is a very good chance they will search it. That is why they have you take any locks off.

The TSA agent probably smokes the stuff, too. Or else he would have notified the authorities about it.

I'm surprised he didn't keep it if it was true.

Hope Freddie didn't get the TSA agent reprimanded, or worse, for his rational response.

A note to discourage someone from bringing weed on a plane is far different from a note to a women about a personal item used for stimulation. In the first case - I think the TSA agent was pretty cool and hopefully the rapper will learn something. In the second case (cited in the article above) the agent should have been fired as he clearly crossed a line. The only thing these stories have in common is that there was a note.

If the TSA guy wrote the note, it is the kind of civil disobedience that will foster termination of these crazy drug laws we have. I hope it is the beginning.

The vibrator comment is sooo wrong. Funny, and wrong. I laughed. I would be mortified if I got a note like that. Then, I would laugh.

Are you saying he should be imprisoned for possession of pot? How much time should he do, for pot possession, that is? Oh, and how much time should he do for being a rapper?

" How much time should he do, for pot possession­, that is? "
-Enough to derail that blinga da u bling blingy mind numbing pant-on-the-ground minstrel show he perpetuates. (Heck, I neve even heard of him until this article)
" ...how much time should he do for being a rapper?"
-None. Being a rapper isn't a crime. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing these modern day minstrelsput out of the picture. Based on the lyrics I hear, they would just as soon take ME out of the picture for looking at them in a manner they find objectionable.
Think of Sgt Warters from the film "Soldier Story." Sarge was wrong, but, I understand his anger. (O.K. that's an extreme example, but it's a heck-of-a-good film)
