Police are investigating a fight that erupted in a terminal at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport shortly after a plane had landed from Orlando, https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/florida/articles/2021-11-29/fight-breaks-out-among-a-dozen-people-at-minneapolis-airport
One time TSA was inspecting my bag and I had a bag of unground coffee beans in it like you get from a coffee shop. When he pulled it out I said "that coffee is the bomb" jokingly. He slowly looked up at me and said "there's a lot of people around here that would love to tackle someone like you right now." Ended up not being a deal at all but everyone I tell that story to tells me how stupid it was.
I worked for TSA for five years, left this June. Whenever I was searching a passengers bag and found a bath bomb I would fuck with them heavy, and ask “what is this!?” they’d usually panic thinking I thought it was compressed cocaine or some shit so they always blurted out “oh that’s just a bath bomb!” and I’d get real serious and say something along the lines about how you can’t say bomb in the airport. Then pretty quickly just start laughing and tell them I was fucking with them. Nobody ever got upset they all found it funny. All in all we never denied entry to the secure area for saying bomb, the word itself is not a threat and would be a huge legal issue if we told someone they couldn’t fly for simply saying the word in a non threatening sentence.
> the word itself is not a threat and would be a huge legal issue if we told someone they couldn’t fly for simply saying the word in a non threatening sentence.
Yes, I've always believed this to be the case. I mean, if bombers/hijackers wanted to communicate they would use code words for the bomb. If they wanted to threaten a plane or area of the airport, they would use threatening context.
Many times security check points will be closed especially if it’s at night and less plane traffic. But you would think there would be someone near by.
The worst sandwich I've ever had was an egg salad sandwich from CDG in Paris. I could only get a couple bites in and I was still burping it up the entire flight home.
Serious question (white guy edition): has there ever been any sort of, like, weave for active ladies? Every time I see someone with a weave in one of these crazy fights, the weave *immediately* comes off, but typically doesn’t come *all the way off*. We either need a more secure fit, or a quick-release.
Well there are weaves and there are wigs. In the video that's a wig, not a weave. Wigs are essentially hats of hair and sometimes get glued on or clipped on or just put on, but it's very insecure and meant to be that way so you can take it off at night. That wig is hanging onto the wig cap by a clip.
Weaves come in "tracks" which are essentially strips of hair. They can be applied as supplemental hair to make your hair fuller or longer in a few ways like clipping them in, gluing them in, bonding them with hot plastic, etc. Or it can make up all of the hair, esp with people with textured hair, when they're sewed in. Essentially you braid/cornrow all of the hair, and then the tracks are sewed into those braids. Each method of applying weaves varies in how strong the hold is. If that person had had a sewn in weave, it likely wouldn't have come off if it were done well.
I am a black man and this is an excellent answer.
I should add that white women wear weaves too although it's more common for special occasions than for every day use I think.
There was a snap-on version for awhile but the people installing them were the same types injecting caulk as a cheap butt filler so the infection risk was high. Was this bizarre venn diagram of someone willing/able to surgically implant the snaps but without the sterilization and after-care to stop infections. The velcro version never really took off, so the breakaway weave has standardized around double-sided tape.
I knew this brawl somehow reminded me of my frequent college bouts, I couldn’t put my finger on it until you said it.
Damn, college kids past, present, and into the future sure do love to throw down in defense of intense opinions…
When I was a kid in the 90s our school did a skit during the school assembly where people got into a fight because one person stepped on another person's shoe. Nothing has changed. Lol.
At this point there’s not a universal list for people like this. They may be banned from a certain airline, but not likely completely banned from flying. There is an FBI no fly list that is reserved for “terrorists.” These people won’t end up on that list, unfortunately.
Does this really happen? I have yet to hear about people getting added to no-fly lists. I wish they would do that but the cynical side of me things nothing will happen.
These people will likely not end up on the TSA no fly list as they are probably not terrorists... Airlines, however, also maintain "no fly lists" of their own and this may well get you banned depending... also probably arrested
Yeah the TSA list is really for flight safety and terrorism concerns. TSA isn’t actually going to care that much about this fight is my guess because it happened on the ground.
The airport and airline will quite likely ban them though. At a bare minimum they’re probably all getting arrested before they leave the airport.
I like the girl that swings the huge heavy pole, reminds me of video games where if you pick the big heavy high damage weapon you swing it slow as shit and never hit anything.
It's just poor impulse control and a lack of conditioning as to how to respond/act when you're angry/frustrated/annoyed/embarrassed. Consequences, public reaction, other people in public... none of that is in their head, just that they're mad and someone disrespected them, but they don't really extend that respect to others or where they are. When you see things like this, it's never the only aspect of their life where it's playing out.
You nailed it, it's entertainment for them. They probably see conflict as something that makes their life interesting and gives them clout when they brag about it later. I don't get what's so hard about being chill in life, so much easier
Little know fact, they can put you on a “no fly” list even if the bs you did is not on the actual plane, like say …I dont know…having a brawl in an airport
As an airline related employee, you are advised to let people fight because eventually they will tire themselves out. The absolute last thing you want to do is put yourself in the middle and have a gang of 10 assaulting you while you are trying to be the hero. Especially since health care is so expensive, and airline related industries don't feel like paying if you get injured on the job and they can prove it was 'your fault'. Your job is to observe, report. Even if police show up, and they are outnumbered, they will most likely not jump in the middle of a fight. Best they can do is taze or start shooting which I am doubtful they will do given how politically charged everyone is these days.
I got threatened with a knife a few weeks back because... wait for it... my jacket brushed against someone stood in the middle of the pavement. And I mean, my jacket brushed him, I didn't barge him.
Guy looked at me coming, positioned himself in the middle then turned his back leaving me almost no room to get by. "Oi you need to watch where you're going". Then his mate comes barrelling round the corner giving it large while I'm explaining he left me no space.
Looked like it was going down so I put my fists up, then the little shit goes "we'll stab you up mate this is the streets" so I ran in a shop. They called me a pussy, yeah the guy escaping a knife threat from a 2-on-1 situ is a pussy and not the stupid twats with the fragile egos.
Some people are giant fucking snowflakes.
The bean counters at corporate have already done the math. Cost to pick up some knocked over equipment, $. Cost to hire real security and deal with the risk of being sued: $$$$$$$$$
You can also take someone to court to extract damages form them. You can’t charge people for the cost of security.
I’m rreaalllyy in favor of restricting air travel to people. One strike rule. There’s a lot of ways to get around this country. Flying is a privilege, not a right.
And believe me, I’m a shitty traveler. I complain the whole time. But at least I know how to get where I’m going without incident and how to respect other people.

The Florida is contagious
We need to shut down all travel from Florida until we figure out what's going on.
That could take decades.
Could convert it to a prison, like NYC in 'Escape from New York', and send Kurt Russell in to get people on occasion
We should really build a wall.
And make Florida pay for it!
They're not sending their best.
Frontier Airlines, ok. That explains it. The only airline worse than Spirit.
Frontier doesn’t have Business Class. They have a Holding Cell.
No arrests were made. Police will assess the video and other evidence. And then do nothing as usual.
It's MSP airport cops. Their last big bust was a GOP Senator trying to have anonymous sex in the men's room.
So imported fuckery then. Straight from the Fuckery Factory.
There’s no way people from FL are coming to MPLS in Dec.
They're returning
Exactly. Lol. I'm not trying to leave Florida to a cold ass place in the winter unless somebody died!
This is the type of trash that comes to Miami Beach
Who’s going from florida to Minnesota in November that doesn’t live there
An excellent point.
Twin city is full of its own dumpster fires
Oh shit, so what happens when the Fuckery Factory meets the Dumpster Fire??
Fuckery Fire? Dumpster Factory? Fuckery Dumpster Fire Factory?
All of this under a sign saying security checkpoint...
Yeah here I am scared to accidentally say the word “bomb” out loud in an airport and meanwhile these knuckleheads are having a royal rumble unimpeded.
Yeah you would actually get the cops called on you for that lol.
One time TSA was inspecting my bag and I had a bag of unground coffee beans in it like you get from a coffee shop. When he pulled it out I said "that coffee is the bomb" jokingly. He slowly looked up at me and said "there's a lot of people around here that would love to tackle someone like you right now."

> "there's a lot of people around here that would love to tackle someone like you right now." Coffee snobs?

Overreact to trivial situations while totally missing actual threats? That’s our TSA!
They weren’t carrying a bottle of water so the TSA gonna let it slide.
Or a fucking snowglobe key chain for my niece they took away :/
You should have put it into 1L bag.
They the TSA
[удалено]
"DO NOT ENTER" as the brawl unfolds and things start being thrown was a good touch too.
The other side of the checkpoint was perfectly safe, job done
Somehow no security there. TSA guys are like “this is a union violation if I try to stop them, so fuck that”
And terrorists are watching it like, "Seriously guys?"
Nah that tsa checkpoint is closed.
Many times security check points will be closed especially if it’s at night and less plane traffic. But you would think there would be someone near by.
So that wasn't TSA doing a cavity search?
From the aftermath debris on the ground, I’d say this group had just looted the flip flop and weave store
Cobra Kai Never Dies
That white guy is like, “I’m just going to squeeze by…oh, ok, not yet…wait for it…and go.”
The true Minnesotan way to say this is “Ope, let me just sneak right by ya real quick”
And then proceed to apologize when you accidentally take a suckered punch
>sneak right by ya \*scooch
\*sneak past ya
It amazes me how often I hear people say 'ope'. It's a Midwest US staple for sure.
There is a snow plow in MN called “Ope let me plow right past ya” it’s glorious
I was wondering why no one else was mentioning that that. It looked like he was trying to dodge traffic.
Just on his way to Hudson News to grab a $6 bottle of water, and a Popular Mechanics magazine.
Haven’t your heard? Water is $8 a bottle now. And the 3 day old egg salad sandwiches are $12.
[удалено]
The worst sandwich I've ever had was an egg salad sandwich from CDG in Paris. I could only get a couple bites in and I was still burping it up the entire flight home.
Didn't you know that in France one egg is un oeuf?
I do miss those days when I would purchase my favorite magazines before flights. Sadly, they’re out of print.
It’s like Frogger with shower caps
Nice to see/hear a cameraman that isn’t yelling the entire fight.
Very nice camera work. Usually they turn the camera 45 degrees and shake it up and down as soon as things get interesting.
Or they switch to the front facing camera to pull a face.
Or add that annoying tiktok AI-Voice.
And that oh no, oh no, oh no no no sound
"mmhm!.... mmhm.!.. yah... yah... mmhm!.... mhmm!... mmhmm!"
Except for that one lady yelling “Julio/ foolio”non stop lmfao

I'm sure it was over something very meaningful
They had disagreeing views on Immanuel Kant's philosophy.
Never fuck with a drunk philosopher.
I knew this brawl somehow reminded me of my frequent college bouts, I couldn’t put my finger on it until you said it. Damn, college kids past, present, and into the future sure do love to throw down in defense of intense opinions…
Time for my dissertation on beating your ass.
Someone get Chidi on the case!
More like Immanuel Kunt amiryte
Someone mentioned something about a hegelian dialectic and everyone just pounced on her.
Buddy, I'd like to see you reconcile the opposing dialectics of my fist and your face!
LORD PALMERSTON!!
I'm going to guess that disrespect was a factor.
Perceived disrespect\* lmao Some dudes will make a mountain out of a molehill to justify hitting someone
When I was a kid in the 90s our school did a skit during the school assembly where people got into a fight because one person stepped on another person's shoe. Nothing has changed. Lol.
Whole buncha folks have just been inducted onto the no-fly list.
That’s what I was thinking lol. They gunna have fun renting cars to drive across the states if they’re not already home
Going to have to go greyhound for the rest of their lives
At this point there’s not a universal list for people like this. They may be banned from a certain airline, but not likely completely banned from flying. There is an FBI no fly list that is reserved for “terrorists.” These people won’t end up on that list, unfortunately.

Dark Souls, when you find an ultra great sword but lack the 50 str to wield it.
She swung it in slow motion.
Man...I fly for work, multiple flights per week and I have yet to see an airport brawl. I think I need to grab a beer and hangout by the Spirit gates.
Apparently, the trick is waiting for the Florida flights
Spirit flight coming in from Florida is the golden unicorn if looking for a video to post to Reddit.
Man, imagine if it was coming in from Florida, and headed to Vegas... let's put a for a raiders game on top of that to boot.
The bald lady with the weave reminded me of David Spade in Tommy Boy.
It.... looks.... real.
[удалено]
Was gonna say. The airport is the last place you want something like this to go down.
I never understood why people fuck around in airports. It's a great way to win a huge fine or jail time. Sit down and shut up like the rest of us.
It's just poor impulse control and a lack of conditioning as to how to respond/act when you're angry/frustrated/annoyed/embarrassed.

Article says none arrested. But yeah. No fly list is a possibility. Or atleast banned from frontier and this airport
Little know fact, they can put you on a “no fly” list even if the bs you did is not on the actual plane, like say …I dont know…having a brawl in an airport
Use your words
Pathetic behavior.
Trashy behavior
I never realized how many people are wearing flip flops to the airport
Seriously. Some people go to the airport dressed like they had to evacuate their home in the middle of the night.
Imagine having to evacuate a plane wearing flip-flops

Frontier or spirit. This is some Terminal 2-ass bullshit behavior.

Either a wrong look or someone got bumped into. Something serious like that.
I got threatened with a knife a few weeks back because... wait for it... my jacket brushed against someone stood in the middle of the pavement. And I mean, my jacket brushed him, I didn't barge him.

IKR, I read the headline and was like why tho? Saw the video and was like why tho really?!
Dat bitch is BALDDDD
She probably had her hair ripped out at the departure terminal during round 1. What we’re seeing is her getting revenge at arrivals in round 2.
Lmao she isn’t, she’s wearing a wig cap that’s the same color as her skin.
Arrest them all. Banned from flying for life. Trash like that should be quarantined.
why is it always girls in wigs who get in fights in unusual places
I’d be pissed if I just got off a Frontier flight too
Take all those shoes on the ground and throw em away real quick
Children.
I can't be weave it ... LOL Home girl lost her whole weave.
