TSA drops grandpa
Indiana man says TSA agent spilled grandfather's ashes
"She didn't apologize," Gross tells RTV6. "She started laughing. I was on my hands and knees picking up bone fragments. I couldn't pick up all, everything that was lost. I mean, there was a long line behind me."

Re: TSA drops grandpa
What does that have to do with anything?
"TSA procedures, the TV station notes, call for using X-ray equipment in such cases and that under "no circumstances" are human remains to be opened"

Re: TSA drops grandpa
From TSA regulations
"Out of respect to the deceased and their family and friends, under no circumstances will an officer open the container even if the passenger requests this be done. Documentation from the funeral home is not sufficient to carry a crematory container through security and onto a plane without screening."Last edited by Warprosper; 06-28-12 at 03:31 PM.

Re: TSA drops grandpa
As a practical matter, this:
I would also like to point out that it's against regulations for TSA to open containers holding human remains.
... seems like a bit of a logic loop. A Catch-22.
In other words: are you saying that all I have to do to make sure that something I'm bringing on to the plane doesn't get opened and searched by the TSA is print up a sticker that says, "HUMAN REMAINS. DO NOT OPEN" and slap it onto whatever metal canister I have handy?
Cheers,
