U.S. airport kerfuffles

Domestic flights in America isn't what I thought it would be. People do stupidly mistakenly board the wrong plane because flight attendants don't check your boarding pass thoroughly once you're inside the plane. In times of emergency, for example, a bad weather, desperate passengers do board themselves on any available flight that they could find just to get out of the City. What manifest?!!

Okay, so it doesn't really surprise me anymore that recently....

1. A man smuggled his monkey into a plane using his hat.


This automatically came to my mind.


The irony: Dubai airport staff could sniff out my very tiny brow tweezer a mile away while TSA officers here couldn't even see a monkey at close range. Who needs to go to Pearle Vision?!


2. Hooters waitress Kyla Ebbert was not allowed on the plane because her outfit was deemed too racy.


She is a Hooter's girl after all but she wasn't wearing her uniform that day. The only eye-catching thing on her was her pair of bountiful assets.


This happened on a Southwest Airlines flight. She should have taken Hooters Air.


3. Joe Winiecki from Florida was asked to changed his t-shirt because it read:



I don't think I need to explain this further. Btw, this incident also occurred on board fashion police Southwest Airlines.

On a serious note:
Last week, a woman on her way to alcohol rehab was found strangled to death (allegedly by handcuffs) inside an airport holding cell in Phoenix. She had missed the plane earlier on, threw a fit & was taken into custody.

Like I said earlier, domestic flights in the U.S. isn't what I thought it to be. Just expect the unexpected.
