Agent Allegedly Asks Woman To Hold Up Vibrator

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- A lawsuit filed in Clearwater seeks unspecified damages of more than $15,000 from Delta Airlines for asking a woman returning from a Las Vegas vacation to hold up a vibrator that she had in her travel bag.

The suit accuses Delta of negligence, gender discrimination and the intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The plaintiff, Renee Koutsouradis, said that the agent took her to the bag on the tarmac and forced her to open it 'and remove the adult toy and hold it up for visible view.''

She claims three men employed by Delta "began laughing hysterically'' and offered "obnoxious and sexually harrasing comments.''

Michael Boyd, an airline planning and security consultant from Colorado, said embarrassing incidents have become more common with increased security by all airlines since Sept. 11.

He said his guideline would be to leave anything embarrassing at home, just in case.

I think this case is about money, period.

Why was she searched at the end of her flight?

[hobbes1]

What do you suppose is more embarrassing, a woman having to expose her vibrator, or a guy with paoket Pu*** ?

My guess is at least the chick will prob find a lover someday...lol

[The_Media_never_lie]

So what's the big deal? All she has to say is some middle eastern guy stuck it in there.

Or they could use just a little professional decorum.

Oh come on! They're all government employees now, the word professional does not appear in their vocabulary.

35% of all women cannot reach orgasm by sexual intercourse

OK. And? Is orgasm necessary?

That's not uncommon, could have been a layover. My sister just came back from texas and was searched at her end destination airport.

DEFINITELY the paoket Pu***. I don't even think it's a contest.

I agree 100 percent with you. Sometimes I wonder what happened to the old "Free Republic."

What's next to pull from a bag at the airport? Kotex? Birth control bills? Laxatives? Hey, what the heck? Viagra? Those APES at the airport are uneducated, unprofessional idiots and I hope she wins billions. What they did was inexcusable and uncalled for.

[hobbes1]

Agree....Like I said, the woman will get another lover..that guy would be doomed.

[Destructor]

HA! What a hoot! Wouldn't you just love to be on that jury? LOL!!

[alexandria]

I agree! And I think that batteries are not allowed as carry on. Or are they plug in?

I think I would have been explaining quickly and quietly to one of the security guys as we went to the baggage rack. If they still insisted I open it it would have been somewhere out of public veiw or they could just arrest me and deal with it on their own.
Off topic, are laptops allowed anymore on airplanes as carry on?

[Gaston]

OK. And? Is orgasm necessary?

Apparently not to you, but I value mine greatly.

Hitachi
Magic Wand Vibrator
Known as the "Cadillac of vibrators," this corded, two-speed massager comes with a soft, flexible head. Relax muscles with soothing vibrations, or add attachments (not included) like the Wonder Wand and G-Spotter for pleasure.

Our customers try our products, then rate and review them.

The shape of this massager makes it easy and comfortable to use. Another advantage is its size. It's large enough for easy handling, but small enough to be very easy to travel with. Tucks very nicely into an overnight bag. It's also very quite which is a very large plus. -- Sharon, Lexington, KY

This was the first time my husband and I used a massager. It was a little bigger than I thought it would be. The motor was quite. It would not be heard in the room next-door. We found the three speeds to be a plus. It seemed to work well. -- dale, south bend, AL

Some lawyers will take any case.

[goldstategop]

That's why they're called ambulance chasers. Though in this case they're skirt chasers too! LMAO!!!

[TankerKC]

Why would she need this in her carry on luggage? ;)

[Hemingway's Ghost]

For a guy, getting busted snapping the carrot is a life-ending experience. A guy I know from prep school is still called "Sticky," even 15 years later . . .

[hobbes1]

Why was she searched at the end of her flight?

They took her out to the bag on the tarmac, My money says that the bag started making the vibrator sound....

[Litany]

Totally disgusting for the poor agent... I certainly hope the agent was wearing gloves (OHSA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard).

Some see FreeRepublic only as a source of entertainment and not the political forum it was meant to be.
