Who the fuck packs a rotting fish into a carry-on bag??
And how the fuck does the rotting fish bag get through security?
It was an emotional support rotting fish carcass.
DID YOU KNOW YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ME WHAT MY ROTTING FISH CARCASS IS FOR UNDER THE ADA. I’M SUING YOU
Because security is more concerned with finding weapons and drugs. Customs/Borders Enforcement is the group tasked with finding prohibited plants and animals, and they don’t usually start looking for those things until you get to the destination country.
I had a block of cheese one time, they went crazy about it. X-rayed it a bunch. They really didn’t like that cheese.
That was probably because of the density of the cheese. I had the same thing happen to me with a bag of gnocchi once. They really thought it was something illicit because they had a big armed security guy on either side of me while they had me open it, and they looked really disappointed to find out what it really was.
Most anticlimatic resolution lol
I got stopped with a Panettone once. Thankfully this was in EWR so the Italian-American gate agent understood why I’d be smuggling one to the west coast.
Snuggling or smuggling?
was it brunost by any chance?
It was a 5lb block of cheddar from UW Provisions, in Madison Wisconsin. Which, in their defense, is a very large block of cheese.
Security theatre
Obviously with emphasis on “theatre”
In the US, they can’t stop you from bringing a fish through, even if it’s rotting. The airline can deny you boarding, if they even know about it ahead of time, but TSA isn’t in charge of any of that.
I see now this is from AMS to DET, I’m not familiar with Amsterdam’s security or rules, so there is a decent chance my first paragraph is incorrect in this situation.
Wait, what? They make me empty out my water bottle, but cant stop a fish??
Drink the fish while on the plane. Problem solved.
If you squeeze it hard enough, there is definitely more than 8oz of liquid in there.
Might have been sealed up airtight and they said it was smoked fish or something. Still, to have maggots, it’s almost impossible that it didn’t come through unless vacuum sealed. Yeah, that’s how I should, I mean they could have done it.
Some cheese has maggots by design.
“Maggots by Design” is a good name for a metal band . Pink logo
It’s not a liquid. I don’t see the problem.
I dunno, depends on how long it’s been rotting…
I’m not paying $7 for a packet of lays
Iceland has entered the chat
I just don’t want to fly anymore.
Who can afford it these days? Groceries alone are over $200 a trip…
You don’t need to fly to the grocery shop too, Taylor, for fucksake
FYI, lots of people have different grocery needs so a broad statement like “grocery trips are $N these days” is pretty meaningless without the context of your purchases or needs.
A better example might be “my grocery bills are up 50% this year with no changes to what I buy!!”
My grocery budget has changed the last few years, but from $65 average to now $85 average. That said the supplemental food I buy (occasional orders out, etc) has risen significantly more, probably upwards of +60% at times.
I fly for work. Two at least scheduled before August.
I never liked flying and now have even more reason not to!
I was stuck on a runway in very humid weather. They finally turned the AC on after a couple hours and we started to get condensation dripping on us from the, I’m guessing, never cleaned ceiling.
And that’s why I always fly in a thin hoodie now.
How? Why?
Cause Snakes are too expensive these days.
Mother fucking inflation

Article says they were coming from a carry-on bag. Someone was pulling a prank or was having a mental break, I guess.
Someone cast Greater Summon Maggots and it just got out of hand.
Rotten fish in a bag in the overhead bin.
Who the fk had that in their bag?!?
What, you never bring snacks on a flight?
Good question!
Imagine: whoever thought that was ok can vote

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The “absolutely gross” situation saw the Delta flight forced to make a U-turn about an hour into the nine-hour trip from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Passengers reported the back of the plane was left teeming with the larvae that it later emerged were emanating from a rotten fish.
The passenger added that one of their carry-on bags was next to the “disgusting” one, and that the suspected culprit was still seated and did not exit the plane at the end of the flight.
“They were all sitting around in the crew area laughing and talking when we had been on the plane for close to three hours with not even water offered,” Kelsey said.
Delta - described as a “leader in domestic and international travel” on its website - confirmed rotten fish and maggots were in the bag and apologised to the passengers.
“We apologise to the customers of Flight 133 AMS-DTW as their trip was interrupted due to an improperly packed carry-on bag,” the airline told Sky News.
