pomm!

50-year-old Frank Hannibal was arrested at LaGuardia Airport after an ill-timed gag about a jar of Crazy Richard’s peanut butter he was carrying.

 

In a complaint filed in Brooklyn Federal Court, Hannibal describes how the airport screener became confused over the layer of oil on top of his gourmet peanut butter. Hannibal was ordered out of line for a more thorough pat-down, which is when he sarcastically remarked to his wife and six-year-old twin daughters:

“They’re looking to confiscate my explosives.”

Hannibal quickly discovered TSA officials don’t have much of a sense of a humor. He was cuffed and led out of LaGuardia and promptly spent 25 hours in a lockup.
