The TSA is Looking for Bitcoin
March 2nd, 2014The TSA didn’t find any Bitcoin “tokens,” but you’re about to read comedy gold.
Via: Daily Anarchist:
I turned back to the orange shirt and asked “What did the Bitcoin look like?” Bill chimed in and told the agent that what he was saying was impossible because Bitcoin is digital and doesn’t have have any physical manifestation. You can’t “see” Bitcoin. The orange shirt said they looked like medallions or tokens. I said I didn’t understand what he was talking about, and he simply repeated, in a child like way, that Bitcoins are like metal tokens. I told him that I didn’t have any tokens.
