Maybe the woke generation was trying to teach them how tasty it is to eat bugs.

Not many crazy things they won’t try.

“Probably the remains of a body left in the overhead storage bin.”

Probably not.

Who knows?

But nothing will stop various Freepers from making knee-jerk assumptions, so everything here will carry on the same.

Normally, you have to pay extra for maggots.

Has there been a recent airline mishap story that wasn’t about Delta?

Someone probably screamed *racism* or *-phobia* or some other victim class and wimps that people are, they backed down and gave the guy a pass.

Doesn’t Delta charge extra for that?

When employees are hired based on Kolor, Kink, and/or Kin (NEPO babies) maggots will fall... figuratively or ‘for real’ as in this case.

They were probably just unaware that the maggots were mandated for in-flight meals by the UN for all international flights for non-first class passengers.

In-flight food service.

No doubt. After smoking totes in Amsterdam, you'll have intense cravings for food and will eat anything.

Could have been worse (a corpse in the overhead compartment).

In the ‘80s, we flew from Anchorage to Syracuse which involved two plane changes. They lost our luggage. They were pretty nonchalant about delivering them to the house until we told them 50 pounds of frozen fish was in one of the bags.

...we’re talking about rotten fish full of maggots. There’s no way that bag didn’t stink to high heaven...

Have you flown out of an airport in a Democrat city?

That smell might be more pleasant than the stench of some of the passengers.

Back in the 80’s I had some Vietnamese women working for me. They brought in Kimchi, made from leaving cabbage in a jar buried in the ground for several weeks
They were eating in their work area so I went over to see what they had
They offered me some but when I smelled it I gagged.
Did they have a good laugh.

Thanks! Almost spilled a margarita. I was a comparative zoologist before ending up in biomedicine. Lots of time with dermestid beetle colonies skeletonizing carcasses.

And yes, as half-Norwegian, I eat lutefisk whenever I can. Maggots are simply a fact of death. And wound debridement.

No comments about carrion luggage?

Just waiting for you, null. We knew you wouldn't disappoint. :D
