Off Topic: Orlando TSA Agent Spills Grandfather’s Ashes
A man traveling from Orlando to Indianapolis with a sealed jar containing his Grandfather’s cremated remains says that a TSA agent opened the container and spilled the ashes on the floor, and then laughed at the man after he scrambled to collect the remains.
According to the Indianapolis TV station that reported the story, TSA agents are not supposed to open human remains and are supposed to run them through the x-ray machine.

I am sad and angry after reading this article.
That is horrible, the TSA person should be fired effective immediately and TSA should issue a public apology.
@ Ki7roy – You’re right. To call it indecent doesn’t seem to fully express how terribly the agent behaved.
@ The Weekly Flyer – It’s almost as outrageous as having to shut down JFK because of an uplugged scanner!
