He'll break into the next bag that comes through with toiletries, find something to clean his hands with, and then wipe them off on someone's underwear before throwing the opened bottle back into the bag.
Those TSOs are such a riot.

So this TSA agent is futzing around with seaweed and a lobster, all with bare hands, then moving on to someone else's (possibly my) suitcase, touching my clothes (possibly my underthings, although they are packed in packing cubes), all with bare hands? Does he wash his hands carefully and thoroughly between these tasks? Or does he expose people to potentially lethal allergens, because . . . well, anything to keep the flying public safe from lobsters, I suppose?

The TSA agent deserves to be reprimanded for this (though undoubtedly they weren't).

Are they doing it on purpose? I am coming to that belief.

“Really an abuse of privacy of rights,” Senator Richard Blumenthal, (D) Connecticut, told News 8. “An invasion of privacy that is inexcusable and I’m going to be asking the TSA for answers as to why these TSA agents made a joke of it.”
It's perfectly obvious to me, and to everyone else here at FlyerTalk, that the reason they made a joke of the lobster is because they ARE jokes, who treat their entire job as a joke, and are not supervised at all. They're a bunch of buffoons who have been entrusted with a serious job and they're treating it worse than a five-year-old making butt copies on Take Your Kid to Work Day.

Senator Boils Over Lobster Picture
After a picture of a lobster going through a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) inspection went viral, one senator is suggesting a change in regulations to protect flyers’ privacy. New Haven, Connecticut ABC affiliate WTNH reports Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal is asking for the Homeland Security agency to change how they handle public affairs.

Hi all,

TSA should be too ashamed for what they did to him. Please do not touch lobster anymore. Please leave the lobster alone.
