An alert Transportation Security Administration screener at New Jersey’s Newark Airport apparently spotted a "sex toy” stuffed inside a passenger’s luggage Saturday and offered the traveler some encouragement.
“Get your freak on girl” was found written in black ink on the back of a TSA notice, passenger Jill Filipovic revealed on her Twitter page.

She laughed and now she's "transitioning" what ahe discovered the note on Sunday after she landed in Dublin, she said. She wrote on her blog, Feministe, that the message was “wildly inappropriate” but she “died laughing” about it in her hotel room.
But she told FoxNews.com in an email Monday evening that she's transitioning to being "pretty disturbed" by the note. She said these agents are given a lot of authority with little oversight.
Who?
lol New Jersey
She’s a feminist blogger, not that it matters.
We clearly need a demonstration of said 'toy'.....
This could've been entirely avoided by having a boyfriend, tbh
that jsut means at her core she likes the penis. i actually encourage all my girlfriends to masturbate frequently as it makes them much more aware of what they like and much better in bed.
If you look down on her having a dildo then i just think thats puritanical nonsense.
It was a vibrator.
Nothing says more about a girl than her vibrator......
Methinks there was method to her madness.
Possibly, I love me some Jill either way.
Its kinda like smoking. Any chick that smokes puts out.
My first reaction when I read this a couple of days ago was that it was faked for self promotion and publicity.
And yeah, she's pretty hot.
mmmmmmmmmmmm
I say if the TSA wants to start appearing responsible, they need to compare that handwriting sample with those working in that area that day, and if they find the perpetrator, make a public example of them.
TSA removes security screener for note telling passenger to 'get your freak on'
By Keith Laing - 10/26/11 04:25 PM ET
A Transportation Security Administration airport security worker has been removed from checking baggage because of a note with sexual implications he left for a passenger at Newark's Liberty International Airport.
Jill Filipovic, a New York blogger who is also a lawyer, tweeted Monday that a note was left in her bag — which contained a sex toy, according to reports — that said "get your freak on." The note was written on a TSA notice of inspection form, leading Filipovic to believe it was written by someone at airport security.
TSA said on its blog Tuesday that it had conducted an investigation into the incident and removed the employee that was responsible from duty.
"That individual was immediately removed from screening operations and appropriate disciplinary action has been initiated," the agency wrote.
"The handwritten note was highly inappropriate and unprofessional, and TSA has zero tolerance for this type of behavior."
The TSA blog Tuesday also said the agency had issued an apology to Filipovic, who tweeted a picture of the note.
For her part, Filipovic joked in subsequent tweets about the notoriety the incident had brought her.
"Lesson learned: Don't tweet anything you don't want to appear on The View. #FML," she wrote Monday.
"Also, this twitter feed is now reverting to its usual content of wine, cheese, bacon and feminism. Unfollow away," she followed up in a second tweet.
They have cameras everywhere. There's no way it's not been filmed when it happened.
And here it is.
Good to see the TSA owning up to it too.
