Bet she takes the batteries out next time!

From an air travel bulletin:
Delta is being sued by a woman who was asked to take a vibrating toy out of her suitcase. The woman claims she was publicly humiliated. She was waiting for a flight from Dallas in February when she heard her name called over the loudspeaker. She was met by a Delta security agent who told her something was vibrating in one of her bags and took the woman to the tarmac where she had to open her bag and hold the item up in the air. She claimed three male Delta employees "began laughing hysterically." She was allowed to repack her bag and return to her seat. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, accuses Delta of negligence, intentional infliction of distress and gender discrimination. Her lawyer says she should have been escorted to a private area.

But what about the vibrating toy - what was it? Details, yawn. If you're gonna take our time, Bum, at least make it interesting. You're probably a lawyer, no sense of humor. And Delta, well, what the heck do you expect. next time, tell us something new, willya.

xxx, dumb? OK, lets all ask - was it your personal virbator used for sexual purposes, happy now, xxx? Toy was the term - just thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and not leap in with the immediate pedestrian suggestion. Anyway, most vibrators are solar powered these days. You hear a lot of prayers for sunny days. You can see them on window ledges during the hotter hours.

Beach, it was a sex toy. Do you not understand. When do the kids go back to school?

What other "toy" would cause "The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, accuses Delta of negligence, intentional infliction of distress and gender discrimination. Her lawyer says she should have been escorted to a private area."?

Hmmm, she says private area, you think sex toy. Assumptions, but funny ones. Delta, ready to go when you are! From this poont on, it's the suitcase for my handcuffs and velvet ropes, not to mention the super get-it-on-vitamins and gells and sprays and adjustor tools and VCR taperoonies.

Another urban legend. This story has been around forever. Last time it was a flight attendant who was humiliated. Next time check your facts beachbum.

X,
You are from another dimension. It's a true story and in the papers and on the news.
Any other brilliant comments, Einstein?

It's a true story and not an urban legend. It happened in Dallas to a woman who said when questioned that she bought the sex toy in Vegas with her husband.
She was made to open her bag and pull it out where everyone saw what it was and some workers were laughing.
Beachbum is accurate and you are not.

You guys are cold. I saw this posted earlier today on another board, and finding it mildly humorous, thought you might enjoy it too. Where do you get off accusing me of being sheltered, or spending too much time in the sun, or being an idiot? You're the ones that can't read!

Beachbum,
There are some people that obviously don't know how to read and I'm still scratching my head about X's solar power, prayers for sunny days, ledge remark. What the???
Thanks for your accurate and entertaining post. Those of us who are normal appreciate it.

I read this in our paper this weekend and thought it was hysterical. Can't you just picture her there on the tarmac holding this thing up and picture those Delta employees just falling all over themselves laughing. AND, did everyone sitting in the plane see too?? Did she return to find everyone in the aisles holding their sides?

It is true, not urban legend. The woman is a 36 year old from Clearwater. Our paper even gave her name, so now the entire Tampa Bay area where she lives, also knows what she does in her spare time. LOL Whatever was she thinking...like this was not going to get out once suit was filed? Think what fun it would be to sit on this jury!

OK how boring was her vacation going to be that she knew she was going to need self gratification on the trip. Jay Leno spoke of this last night, if the paper gave her name is she suing them as well? OOHH GOTTA GO!!!
