Not sure why this clown (in training) wasn’t just deported back to the US. Guess the state wanted to make sure she was charged so she didn’t duck responsibility. Ah well, she’ll have a tale to tell when she gets deported at the end of her sentence I guess.
cause if they just sent her back the americans would only give her another one when she landed so whats the point.
I guess the US woman didn't realize that the second amendment isn't valid outside the US.
Can you just caaually go to airport with gun in your luggage in US?
In luggage? If done correctly yes. In carry-on? No, security should find and confiscate it. I don't think it would result in jail time though.
I don't know, I am not a US Citizen.
It’s not gold, it’s Australium.
Brave jump!
"The court was told in recent years, Goodson was using psychedelic drugs, synthetic cannabis and crystal meth amphetamines."
What? Nooooooooo!
She should have tried to smuggle it in in the form or a golden cigarette case, golden cigarette lighter, golden pen and golden cufflink.
She was just playing a fun N64 Goldeneye game mode, leave her alone
When I go to the airport I have game set to slappers only.
At least she didn't claim she's protected by the US constitution.
