Perfume Bottle Causes Dust-Up At Phoenix Airport

Lois Lewis-White, Promotion Director-West For Republic Music in Nashville, is a frequent flier  and recently had a bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume confiscated by airport authorities, according to The Daily Mail.

The reason: the bottlewas shaped like a grenade.

Lois Lewis was stopped March 8 going through security at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Arizona, and a bomb expert was called in to access whether the bottle was authentic.

The airport closed down Lewis’s security queue at the Southwest Terminal for an hour as they investigated the 60ml bottle.

Lewis, a promoter for country bands, said she travels all the time and has taken a bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume on about 300 flights and never encountered a problem.



Lewis, who was flying to Denver, said: ‘They said if as a passenger you were to get on an airplane and you were to wave this around that people could maybe construe that as you making some sort of a threat.’

The bomb expert took Lewis’s details, a copy of her identification and the bottle.
