Woman Sees Man Throw Box In Airport Trash, Decides To Open It

First Hand Encounter  

This was one of the saddest men she had ever seen. She was standing on the sidelines, watching him. He looked to be in pain. He had just resigned from his job. He threw something in the waste bin nearby with an almost oblivious look on his face.

What she just saw was a touching human moment. She couldn’t help but start crying. She felt for the man. But he didn’t even know who she was.

Airport Restrictions

Ivelise Hernandez was planning her flight journey like any other edited traveler. She was en route from her hometown of Tampa Florida to St. Petersburg-Clearwater Airport. Her boyfriend was traveling with her.

Ivelise was going to stay in Pittsburgh for a few days. Her boyfriend offered to keep he company while she waited to board her flight. Some passengers were making some noise up ahead but they waited patiently in line.

The unsuspecting couple didn’t know what was going to happen to them n just a few minutes.

Whats Happening

Ivelise was a nervous flyer so her boyfriend Rico Bankston stayed with her through the checking-in process. He watched the TSA (Transportation Security Authority) check bags and scan people.

The line was running smoothly until it was stopped suddenly by a middle-aged man. He was trying to get a wrapped parcel through the metal detector. He was already delaying other passengers and Iverlise was getting annoyed.

What Are You Carrying

The burly security Officers firmly pulled the man out of the line. Ivelise and Rico looked at each other. Did the man have something illegal on him?

The couple watched on, trying not to make their staring too obvious. They tried to eavesdrop and caught a few lines of the conversation. What did this man have in his possession?

Heightened Security

The horrific events of September 11th sent the Airport Industry on High Alert. Ever since then Airport personnel were trained to be extra vigilant and on the lookout for any suspicious activity.

Most people completely understood this. The airport gave very precise rules, regulations, and restrictions about air travel. The onus lay on the individual to be able to adhere to them for everyone’s safety and security. Why did this passenger not obey the rules?
