What the Hell Theater


Mayonnaise isn't the healthiest condiment, but Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials say an airline passenger wanted to make it even more harmful. On Tuesday, TSA agents confiscated a jar of mayo into which a passenger had allegedly hidden a knife and attempted to smuggle it onto his flight at New York's Kennedy Airport, Fox News reports. Apparently unbeknownst to the would-be smuggler, mayo falls into the liquid/gel category. Only three ounce portions of such substances are allowed in carry-on bags, so his jar of mayonnaise wouldn't have cut the mustard with the TSA even if there was no knife hidden in it. The passenger was apparently allowed to catch his flight.

A Tennessee woman was arrested after making a pair of calls to 911 because she wasn't happy with her Hardee's burger. According to the criminal complaint posted by The Smoking Gun, 50-year-old Donna Marie Nichols was arrested and jailed for misusing the emergency number last Thursday. In her calls to the dispatcher, she asked for a police officer to come to her location and help rectify her "nasty" tasting burger. "[T]he food is no good," Nichols is heard on the 911 call. "I only took a small bite out of the burger and it’s nasty." When a cop arrived and she reiterated her complaint, and her desire to get a refund, she was arrested. Nichols posted bail Tuesday and was released.
