- Arvada woman trying to stomach $500 fine for free airline snack by KDVR. Rules are rules I guess, but this seems particularly harsh.
- JetBlue is planning to sell seats on semi-private flights by CNBC. JetSuite has been everywhere in the news recently.
- Boy, 12, steals credit card and goes on Bali holiday after fight with mother by The Guardian. Wow…
This is James Shaw. He’s a hero. His hands are burned from grabbing the barrel of a gun used to kill four people at a Nashville Waffle House. He says he’s sorry he couldn’t save more people. pic.twitter.com/QXIevQLfM1

She is upset and getting unnecessary attention. If this is pardoned I will know how to setup my retort. Doubtful yet unfortunate if one person’s tantrum results in a re-evaluation of inflight snacks. Nearly happened to me arriving in New Zealand with a flight provided Apple in my jacket pocket. Threw it in a customs amnesty box. Pay attention next time.
My wife and I recently flew into Boston from overseas. A uniformed man with a dog accosted us and asked if we had any fruit. It turns out it was a fruit sniffing dog. My wife had taken a cut-up apple to eat on the flight. She had finished it, but she still had the plastic bag that it had been in. She offered to show him that she no longer had any fruit, but he took her word for it.
Wow.
What a time to be alive!
Yes, those dogs are run by USDA – I never knew there were uniformed USDA people until I saw them doing this. I’ve never seen a drug dog nor an explosives dog in an airport, but I’ve seen dogs searching for agricultural stuff several times.
Forgive my ignorance (I’ve never flown internationally), but what, exactly, did she do wrong here? The article doesn’t say what the ticket is specifically for.
Is it just bringing any food into the country? Or did she lie to the agent and say she had no food? Or…?
It’s for bringing the apple in without declaring it
The woman has Global Entry. I would be more sympathetic if she did not possess it. She is throwing a stink because she she f’ed up.
Agreed. I’d be annoyed too, but blaming everybody else but herself now seems the behavior of a 2yo.
The women should have known that an Apple any day doesn’t keep TSA agent away 🙂
It’s not clear if she got to keep the apple though.
