FAA Alert re: Sex Toys!!!!

[EROS]

(AP)-(Clearwater, Florida)-A woman who says she was pulled off an airplane and asked to take a sex toy out of her luggage after it started vibrating is suing Delta Airlines, saying she was publicly humiliated.

Renee Koutsouradis, 36, said she was with her husband awaiting takeoff from Dallas in February when her name was called over the loudspeaker.

She said she was met by a Delta security agent who told her something was vibrating in one of her bags. She said she explained it was an adult toy that she and her husband had just bought on a trip to Las Vegas.

She said the agent took her to the bag on the tarmac and made her remove the toy and hold it up, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday. Some passengers on the plane saw everything, and three male Delta employees "began laughing hysterically" and made "obnoxious and sexually harassing comments."

Koutsouradis was allowed to repack and return to her seat.

"We have an obligation to protect the safety and security of passengers," said spokeswoman Katie Connell. "If there's anything questionable about a bag, we have a responsibility to investigate."

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, accusing Delta of negligence, intentional infliction of distress and gender discrimination.

Koutsouradis' lawyer, Brad Tobin, said Delta agents should have escorted her to a private area.

"She was pretty horrified by the treatment," he said. "She never contended that Delta doesn't have the right to investigate a security issue. It was their total lack of professionalism."

I'm sure she's exaggerating, but still. LOL. This reminds me of an episode of The Drew Carey Show. ;)

I mean how could she not know that at least someone (like the x-ray watcher) would have seen it? Not only that but, uhm, I don't think a that's really considered an "impulse buy" (but what do I know?) & it would be something best purchased near home, no? Or how about the common sense, if you absolutely have to have that specific whoopie stick, why not take out the batteries, just in case? :rolleyes: I take out the batteries my CD player, mostly because I don't want to be faced with drained batteries.

Again, I'm sure she's exaggerating. I'm sure there were a few giggles, but gender discrimination? :rolleyes: I pretty sure if it was a man, the same (actually probably worse) situation would have occured. I wonder what happens when she gets to court & the judge chuckles ;)

SPAGo, I know a little about "sex kittens" but nothing about "sex toys". You obviously have greater expertise in such matters:p :p .

[EROS]

HEY, JohnTBap, I may be bound for HELL , but I've never spoken here with a forked tongue;) ;) . I wouldn't know a sex toy if it smacked me on the face:) ; of course, it goes without saying that a woman of your exemplary character would have no knowledge of one either.

However, I have been told that they are sold in this establishment:p :

Similar thing happened to a friend of mine. She and her husband were going on a "no kids" vacation. Seems her hubby had packed some, um, marital aids in his carry-on. At the security check-point, the inspectors thought they saw some, um, odd-shaped items, and EMPTIED THE BAG!!! Needless to say, my friend was very embarrassed :o :o

So, EROS, where do YOU pack your "toys"??:p

[tnkrbell]

Deb lol lol THat is too funny!!
Eros Ok you just proved you know nothing of these toys!!!;) :smooth: lol

[EROS]

Thanks, Tnkrbell:D .

DEB, REAL MEN in Boston, aside from SPAGo, don't need to use such toys:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: . Of course, I don't really know what goes on in the "heartland". Do they have "sex shoppes" in IOWA????? Please feel free to stand on the FIFTH amendment if you wish:p :p :p...........

[JDY]

I'm sure this was embarrassing :eek: but let's get serious. She wasn't thinking when she but that in her luggage. The airline was looking out for the safety of its passengers, as it should. We can hope that the court will throw out this frivolous lawsuit. :p

[A kid at heart]

It would be embarrassing but how hilariously funny!
Spago good one! LOL

LOL, Lunar Lady!!!!

[Angelrose]

Obviously they WANTED to embarrass this poor woman. I'm sure when they saw what it was they could have been a tad more discreet. Of course if it had been ME they did that to, well, being the dirty old lady that I am, I would have held it high, looked at it, glanced back at the gentlemen's pants and started laughing hysterically. But then I am a very bad old lady. :teeth:

[UrsulasDaBomb]

[Goofyposter]

Groosch!??? isn't this ah 'recycled' thread??? has'nt ah similar "event" been posted nert ter long ago???

[WebmasterAlex]

That's like old news... I worked at a checkpoint 20 years ago and it used to happen on a fairly regular basis.... I was always amazed by how many people have them in their carry on luggage!

[disfanatiks]

I could really go somewhere with that comment!!!;)

[one_cat]

That would be embarrassing but very funny. Something to laugh about later. People need to not take life so seriously. Course I suppose she's hoping for some easy money...

[Planogirl]

Embarassing but not THAT bad. I imagine that she'll get over it someday. ;)

(Giggle... :) )

[Pin Wizard]

LOL! It doesn't take a genious to figure out that taking the batteries out would prevent this. :rolleyes:

[catsrule]

Well, I guess I would be getting sued too, cause I would have been ROTFLOL with the employees.

Seriously? Wow. I would have guessed it was something that happens every once & a blue moon. Now I don't feel so bad when I'm traveling back with dirty socks. LOL.
