Passenger detained, KCI operations snarled after suspicious item found
Flights to and from Kansas City International Airport were thrown into disarray today when security agents found a suspicious item in a passenger’s carry-on luggage. The airport closed part of Terminal B after something in a Southwest Airlines passenger’s bag triggered an alert about 9:30 a.m.
Airport police detained the man after he refused to let agents examine the item. Investigators later determined that the item wasn’t explosive, said FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton.
About 1:30 p.m., a robot carried the item to a container in front of the terminal, where it was blown up.
The terminal reopened at 3 p.m. after dogs searched the area.
Most Southwest departures from KCI came to a standstill and many flights that were supposed to be headed to Kansas City were instead held in other cities after agents found the suspicious item. By 2:30 p.m., some Southwest flights were departing from other gates, but with a backlog of passengers, travel would continue to be difficult.
“This is the craziest day we’ve ever had here,” said a TSA agent who refused to give his name.
You know, if your going to carry your sex toys on the plane with you, you shouldn't be embarrassed to show them to people. Otherwise they may get blown up. (And on 9/11. Come on!!!!)

And since he was flying Southwest, I assume it was a really cheap sex toy too.

J - Maybe he had more than one and he was going to sell them on the plane.
Desperate people go to desperate measures...to have some sort of sex at all, let alone to possibly
sell cheap sexy items on a cheap non-sexy airline. Why, he or she had already thought of how to get free advertising by hiding it in plain sight (or should I have said PLANE sight) on 9/11 in order to make international news!!! Genius!!!
