A flight attendant – who was randomly picked out to be searched at LAX on Friday night – quickly bolted from the airport, leaving behind her Gucci shoes and a whopping 60 pounds of cocaine. Authorities are now looking for the woman.
It all went down about 9 p.m. when the unidentified flight attendant was pulled aside by TSA for a search – something that is normally not done. Via NBC News:
The woman, who was not identified, appeared nervous and made a cell phone call in a language not recognized by officers, authorities told NBC News. She was then taken aside to a secondary screening area and was asked for her employee identification.
Suddenly, the woman bolted from the screening location, running with her bags toward an escalator. After a short distance she jettisoned the luggage and her Gucci shoes, exiting the terminal. The suspect who is being sought was due to be on Flight 028 from LAX to LaGuardia Airport in New York City.
The incident was recorded on video, but has not yet been released.
Meanwhile, the TSA is still making you take off your damn shoes every time you fly.
