And here comes your daily “celebrities are better than the rest of us” story.
While you were probably waiting at JFK airport yesterday for way too long just to get to the holding area, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian got some preferential treatment that they’re not even being blamed for, even though they went along with it.
The soon-t0-be-parents were coming off of a flight from Brazil to connect to one to Los Angeles at the NYC airport, where they met up with an airline greeter allowed them to pass through a “key security point” to get to their next flight as quickly as possible.
When TSA found out what happened, the two were pulled from the plane immediately — which caused the flight to be delayed for another hour — and they were properly screened before being allowed to board once more.
“… the airline employee violated security protocols by permitting the travelers to by-pass the TSA security checkpoint”, came a statement from the terminal. “TSA officials learned of the violation and conducted a private screening of the two passengers in the area of the jetway.”
American Airlines called the entire thing “a lapse in judgement” and said 50 minutes of the delay came from other “bags [that] were delayed [in] getting to the airport.”
Sure, it did.
