Gay couple sue airline after dildo taped to top of their luggage and displayed on baggage carousel

[Praxus]

OK, sorry, but I find this hilarious. Maybe next time don't take your gigantic neon dildo out of the country? I'd probably have taped the thing to the outside of the bag too if I was searching a bag and found Gigantor in there. Too funny....this is like some South Park kinda shit.

I also find this fucking hilarious. The best part is that it's not just a dildo but a HUGE PURPLE dildo It looks like something out of Cage aux Folles.

Much Ado About Nothing

I totally agree.

I don't see what is so shameful about this. If you're gay, own it! If you have a dildo own it!...unless it's a rental.

Let them do as Joseph's father commandeth If it must be so, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your bag, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey

I think the better question is, why is a gay couple needing to use a dildo when they could have the real thing?

But have you seen the size of this? I don't think it grows in nature.

I am still confused about some of the facts to this case. How did the handlers know there was a dildo inside? Could it be the bag may have been unzipped between moving and the dildo somehow popped out? Maybe the handlers taped the bag to keep the dildo and other contents in tact rather than wanting to handle the dildo with their hands. Or they could have done it on purpose. I don't know. It's very strange.

The way the zipper is still attached in the middle, my guess is that the dildo was on top (get it? on top? I'll be here all week).

The baggage handlers just taped it up. I, for one, wouldn't want to be handling some strangers huge dildo.

But here's my take on the whole thing:

They packed a huge dildo for vacation - fine, no problem by me. However, once they relinquished the bag to the airlines they ceded any privacy rights whatsoever. Were it just the airlines or TSA that saw it or for everyone to see makes no difference. If it was something they wished to keep hidden, secret, it should have been left at home or kept on their person. There's no guarantee of privacy when travelling. It's unfortunate that this happened. But they'd be hard pressed to prove intent and as such I think the case should be dismissed. Sadly, though, I'm sure the airline will settle.

This must be the most entertaining thread I've yet read. Didn't the dildo look like some strange sea creature?

do wot females do
put hubby in cargo ans take dildo in cabin

ha

 

[BreakTheIce]

to be honest that dildo is so huge anyone working for security would open the bag up just to make sure it wasn't a weapon or anything. The only thing I don't understand is why they didn't close the bag even though it had a working zipper.

Now that's funny! I finally understood his message.

* Bag goes through xray * Xray agent yelled out, "We have a live one in there! And it's not one of us."

This was on their return from a foreign country. They are lucky they didn't have their bags opened and inspected in front of them. As someone who just returned from a trip to a third world country I can report that my bags were gone through in front of me for all my 7 flights within the country during my trip.

The zipper on their bag looks broken to me. What they are claiming seems implausible to me. Someone deliberately searched their bag and then checked minisule print to see that it belonged to a male and then surmised that that male was traveling with another male and not a female and then dipped in it in lube and then made sure it was half hanging out of the bag. Can you imagine that scene at the carousel, with children's eyes being shielded?

Bags get broken, get ripped and damaged. Don't travel with anything you'd be ashamed to pick up loose or identify. And wtf did they have to be ashamed of? It was a big deal because they made it a big deal. And now it's a bigger deal so what should have been "you won't believe what happened to us" conversations at parties with family and friends has now become an international headline. And, in their great shame, they stopped to take a picture!

I think it's funny and I also think even in the puritanical (at least in public) US its ok to admit to being a sexual being.

Here is something I also noticed during my travel. And I travel a lot for business throughout the year. Most of the luggage/bag handlers at airports are immigrants: Arabs, Asians, Haitians, Jamaicans, Latinos, etc. I would bet money on: they most likely did not know what that huge fucking thing was.

 

[sixthson]

Do the dildoes come in other colors?

 

[derelictdarrel]

Regardless whether or not if the bag-sniffers knew what this sizeable item contained in the bag was, this kind of mishandleing of a persons property is unacceptable

Maybe by observing the persons nametag attached to the luggage, How else would a TSA shitbag know this luggage may or may not belong to a gay person by the time this gym-bag destinates into their possession?


This remindes me of a time when the TSA was at its infancy. I worked at a car-rental at our airport terminal at the time.
Back then after you checked your luggage in, it gets passed to this long table with a row of underclassed mouth-breathers inkling to open up your bag and meander through it RIGHT IN PLAIN VIEW IN PUBLIC.
Anyway, this mother/father and a teenage daugher were complacently standing watching all this. A agent pulls out a vibrator from the teenage daughers bag, it is set aside for everyone to see.. I'm not sure what the agent could have done diffrently, he did seem to appear awkward about it.. The look on the girl and the parents faces was priceless..

i blame president george w bush for all this.

 

[BostonPirate]

If I was dumb enough to take that thing with me on a trip, and I found it taped to my luggage?

I would walk around the airport terminal all day long visiting all the restaurants and bars, putting the bag down on every seat I got close to.

And if they dared say something....

well you can imagine how that conversation would end.

He's a turnip masquerading as a human being.

How about you?

Again, I think it could be the possibility that the bag came open with the dildo hanging out, and the staff taped it all together so they wouldn't have to touch it to put it back in.

Certainly everyone has the right to pack what they want in their suitcase, but it is a little silly that this couple felt like they needed to have their dildo for this trip. Is it that necessary for their sex life? Maybe they're two bottoms, I don't know. They certainly haven't helped their embarrassment by making this story go public with the whole world knowing they packed a fuchsia colored dildo in their bag.
