Vick's Waterbottle Raises Suspicion at Airport
ATLANTA - Michael Vick reluctantly surrendered a water bottle to security at Miami International Airport that contained a residue “closely associated with marijuana.” Police said Thursday that no charges immediately were filed.
The 26-year-old Atlanta Falcons quarterback entered an airport concourse Wednesday morning with the 20-ounce bottle. He eventually handed it over and boarded his flight to Atlanta. But his initial reluctance to turn over the bottle aroused suspicion among airport security screeners, a police report said.
Two Transportation Security Administration screeners recognized the 6-foot, 215-pound Vick.
The bottle was found to have a hidden compartment that contained “a small amount of dark particulate and a pungent aroma closely associated with marijuana,” the report said. The compartment was hidden by the bottle’s label so that it appeared to be a full bottle of water when held upright, police said.
Police said the bottle was sent to the Miami-Dade County crime lab for analysis. It could be weeks before any decision is made on whether to file charges, said Detective Alvaro Zabaleta.
“We’ll do an analysis and see what it is. There’s no sense of urgency to it,” he said Thursday.
Vick did not immediately return a phone call early Thursday.
“We plan to look into the matter and discuss it with Michael Vick before having any further comment,” Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts said.
Vick’s younger brother, Marcus, is a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins. Michael Vick was the overall No. 1 draft pick in the 2001 NFL draft. In 2006, Michael Vick passed for more than 2,400 yards and also topped 1,000 yards rushing.
Michael needs to find a herb hookup in Atlanta. Damn Mike, you're a millionaire, smoke it up, give it away, flush it, but don't take that shit to an airport.

I can't decide which way to lean on this - if it was pot, then Michael Vick is an idiot and tried to use his 'celebrity' status to get by security. But if it wasn't, then TSA security truly lives up to my expectations of stupidity and being a waste of money.
