Next time you’re being patted down, taking off your shoes, rubbing your tummy while patting your head (ok, I made that one up – at least for now), think about non-citizens using arrest warrants as ID to board a plane.
I used to travel quite a bit when I was working, and also when I retired going back to my hometown to see my parents. Nearly had my bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume seized by TSA at the airport; told I was ‘lucky’ they didn’t take it, because it resembled a grenade!!
It was not inexpensive perfume, I have no idea what my reaction would have been had this happened, but it wouldn’t have been pretty. The Yankee had served in the Army, so I asked him about grenades: Were they pretty, made of glass, did they smell good? He said no.
Amazingly, this DID actually happen to someone, read about it here.
