No Motion For This Lotion
Atlanta, GA
At Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, an airport screener said a passenger hit her hand with a bottle of lotion. There were no visible signs of injury, an officer noted. “Several other TSA supervisors were on scene and loudly demanding that the passenger be charged and arrested,” the officer noted, adding that the airport screener was “loud and uncooperative.”
The passenger is a 46-year-old woman from Greenwood Village, Colo. She said she was told the bottle of lotion was going to be thrown into the trash, so she asked that the lotion be given to the homeless instead. Then, she said, the airport screener became loud and adamant that the lotion was going into the trash. She said she did hit the airport screener’s hand, but not to harm her. There was no evidence of intent by the passenger, the officer noted. A security videotape didn’t clearly show the incident, an airport supervisor said. No charges filed.
