The TSA caused controversy by seizing a woman’s expensive bottle of perfume because it is shaped like a grenade, Fox News reports.
Country music promoter Lois Lewis was stopped by TSA agents and then investigated after after trying to bring her 2-ounce bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume in her carryon at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor.
The TSA defended the move, saying it removes any toy weapons or other items that resemble weapons.
“I’m not a casual traveler. I was trying to show them look I’m PreCheck. My risk has been assessed you know. I carry this with me always,” Lewis saidd. “They said if as a passenger you were to get on an airplane and you were to wave this around that people could maybe construe that as you making some sort of a threat.”
