Who the fuck packs a rotting fish into a carry-on bag??
And how the fuck does the rotting fish bag get through security?
It was an emotional support rotting fish carcass.
DID YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ME WHAT MY ROTTING FISH CARCASS IS FOR UNDER THE ADA. I'M SUING YOU
Because security is more concerned with finding weapons and drugs. Customs/Borders Enforcement is the group tasked with finding prohibited plants and animals, and they don’t usually start looking for those things until you get to the destination country.
I had a block of cheese one time, they went crazy about it. X-rayed it a bunch. They really didn't like that cheese.
That was probably because of the density of the cheese. I had the same thing happen to me with a bag of gnocchi once. They really thought it was something illicit because they had a big armed security guy on either side of me while they had me open it, and they looked really disappointed to find out what it really was.
Most anticlimatic resolution lol
I got stopped with a Panettone once. Thankfully this was in EWR so the Italian-American gate agent understood why I'd be snuggling one to the west coast.
Snuggling or smuggling?
was it brunost by any chance?
It was a 5lb block of cheddar from UW Provisions, in Madison Wisconsin. Which, in their defense, is a very large block of cheese.
Security theatre
Obviously with emphasis on "theatre"
In the US, they can't stop you from bringing a fish through, even if it's rotting. The airline can deny you boarding, if they even know about it ahead of time, but TSA isn't in charge of any of that.
I see now this is from AMS to DET, I'm not familiar with Amsterdam's security or rules, so there is a decent chance my first paragraph is incorrect in this situation.
Wait, what? They make me empty out my water bottle, but cant stop a fish??
Drink the fish while on the plane. Problem solved.
If you squeeze it hard enough, there is definitely more than 8oz of liquid in there.
Might have been sealed up airtight and they said it was smoked fish or something. Still, to have maggots, it's almost impossible that it didn't come through unless vacuum sealed. Yeah, that's how I should, I mean they could have done it.
Some cheese has maggots by design.

It's not a liquid. I don't see the problem.
I dunno, depends on how long it's been rotting...
I’m not paying $7 for a packet of lays
