FLORIDA MAN STOPPED AT TAMPA AIRPORT WITH 14 FROZEN STEAKS DUCT TAPED TO HIS TORSO -- TELLS TSA THEY WOULD THAW BY LANDING AND HE CONSIDERS THIS MEAL PLANNING NOT SMUGGLING
FLORIDA MAN STOPPED AT TAMPA AIRPORT WITH 14 FROZEN STEAKS DUCT TAPED TO HIS TORSO -- TELLS TSA THEY WOULD THAW BY LANDING AND HE CONSIDERS THIS MEAL PLANNING NOT SMUGGLING Tampa, FL -- TSA agents at Tampa International Airport detained Mitchell Greer, 48, Monday morning after a body scanner revealed what Agent Brenda Polk described as "a dense rectangular pattern across the full torso consistent with either body armor or a butcher's display case." It was closer to the butcher's display case. Fourteen New York strip steaks, each vacuum sealed and frozen solid, had been duct taped directly to Greer's chest, abdomen, and both sides in four rows of three with two anchor steaks he had placed at the lower back for what he called "ballast and symmetry." Greer, booked on a United flight to Chicago, told Agent Polk he had purchased the steaks at a Publix the previous evening at $8.99 per pound, frozen them overnight, and applied them at 5 a.m. after calculating that a two-hour flight plus ground time would bring them to a perfect thaw by dinner. - Had prepared a meal planning document on his phone showing an estimated thaw timeline by steak position - Steaks closest to the skin were projected to thaw faster and had been designated for immediate cooking - Outer steaks were labeled "day two" in his planning notes - Chicago steak prices had been researched at $16.99 per pound at his destination neighborhood grocery - Projected savings across fourteen steaks documented as $84 which he described as "practically a free dinner" - Told Agent Polk the duct tape had been applied over a moisture-wicking base layer he had worn specifically to protect his skin - Confirmed the base layer had been a thoughtful addition and he stood by it - When asked if he had considered a checked cooler, said airline reliability was not something he was willing to factor into a meal plan Agent Polk confirmed the steaks had maintained a safe internal temperature due to their frozen state but that fourteen steaks duct taped to a human body fell outside TSA's approved carry-on framework regardless of their culinary purpose. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
