Pacific-bound Deceased Grandparents
When my grandparents passed away, they wanted to be cremated and then have their ashes scattered into the Pacific Ocean near where they had a house. But we lived in New York. So my mom wrapped them both up, in really cheap plastic cremation urns, and put them in her carry on.
The airport scanned them, took us both aside into a separate room, swiped the boxes for explosives, and tried to take them. My mom had none of that, and after yelling “You can’t confiscate my parents!”. We got to keep them and continue on our flight.
