I don’t think it’s comical at all. They shouldn’t be doing that with anyone’s belongings. Period. The whole idea is just gross anyway.
Must have been some good tape if it was covered with a greasy substance and kept its adhesion...
“always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.”
Assuming the incident actually happened as described.
Given the events of the last few years, that’s by no means a sure thing.
“Fortunately, the friends arrived and were able to assist plaintiffs out of the airport and to their home....
Really? Talk about reinforcing a gay stereotype.
I agree that the TSA worker or airline employee who did this should be fired—assuming the event took place as reported, which is always a legitimate question in these situations. It would not astonish me if I were to learn that the passengers did this themselves.
If it did take place, imagine the silliness and weakness of two people, ostensibly adult men, who were so overcome by the “trauma” of being embarrassed in front of strangers that they had to call other friends to help them out of the airport. Imagine people being unable to function after an embarrassment and not even being able to walk. Is this not absurd?
Trauma is being hit by a car. Rape is traumatic. The death of a loved one is traumatic. Being involved in some hideously bloody, violent event, like a shooting, is traumatic. Having people see your sex toy is mildly embarrassing.
There’s something wrong if you’re using a device that’s so shameful you are overcome with emotion at the very idea that others have seen it. Most people would be pissed off, not driven to their knees with “trauma” if this happened to them (again, assuming it really did happen).
Embarrassment is not Trauma.
Not defending whatever baggage handler did this, but TRAUMA and EMBARRASSMENT are not the same thing.
I’m coming down on the side of a hoax.
Damn those baggage handlers are not only smart but clairvoyant.They need to be working Wall Street or Vegas.
Whoever did this should be fired and held liable.
The fact that they were just soooo overwhelmed that they needed two friends to help them from the airport has to be the funniest thing I’ve heard this week. Can you imagine if these guys ever faced any real adversity? Bring the smelling salts....
Oh, the private kind, not those found in the public square.
This article hits all the right PC buttons. So the two fairies in question were so mortified by events they couldn’t even compose themselves and “had to call a friend” to help? What a load of rubbish.
Also - you couldn’t pay me enough to touch that thing
What else are these freaking idiots taking from bags?? Hope airline gets hammered.
“Plaintiffs were experiencing such a high degree of shock and embarrassment that they felt compelled to call two friends to come to the airport to assist them.
You are HOMOSEXUALS if that fact alone does not embarrass you then nothing should.........
This has TSA written all over it. This is the first time I got an inkling that the TSA had a sense of humor.
I am not buying this story at all
it seems way too stupid for even TSA workers
This story sounds queer to me...
Bet it is a set-up.
