"They opened up my bag, and I told them, 'Please, be careful. These are my grandpa's ashes,'" Gross told RTV6's Norman Cox. "She picked up the jar. She opened it up.Now, I know that President Romney will have his hands full in the first few months of his administration, but it would oblige me greatly if he could take a few minutes to get rid of the TSA.
"I was told later on that she had no right to even open it, that they could have used other devices, like an X-ray machine. So she opened it up. She used her finger and was sifting through it. And then she accidentally spilled it."
Gross says about a quarter to a third of the contents spilled on the floor, leaving him frantically trying to gather up as much as he could while anxious passengers waited behind him.
"She didn't apologize. She started laughing. I was on my hands and knees picking up bone fragments. I couldn't pick up all, everything that was lost.

Deborah Leigh said...They can take my toothpaste and sample it, but I draw the line at my loved one's ashes. Hope the agent was fired. And this poor person has filed a lawsuit. What kind of person would taste something that they were told was human ashes! Perhaps grandpa can give a midnight visit to this creature!
ReplyDeleteThe agent is a goobermint employee, Deborah. She'd have to commit serial murder in public for her to fired in anything less than 3 years.
ReplyDeleteJeff: Serial murder while wearing a Rush Limbaugh t-shirt; that might get her a 30-day suspension.
ReplyDeleteHeh. Yeah, that would do it, Paco.
ReplyDeleteGovernment at its finest. Is it any wonder I am disgusted at the behavior of these over-paid, over-protected cretins?
ReplyDeleteI'm going back to bed...
If I was on my knees trying to gather up my loved one's ashes that she spilled, and then she laughed at me...?!? Well, let's just say Grandpa and I would be sitting in jail for a spell.
ReplyDeleteHAW!
ReplyDeleteAnd the culprit is a PONA- Person Of No Appearance.
