Northwest flight attendant had grenade in luggage

[Initech]

MILWAUKEE — A Northwest Airlines flight attendant has been grounded and could face charges after security personnel reported finding a real but inactive hand grenade in her carry-on luggage at Milwaukee's airport.

The 39-year-old Cordova, Tenn., woman, whose name was not released, is expected to appear today in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Officials say she could be charged with disorderly conduct and also could face a federal fine of up to $1,500 dollars.

Sheriff's department spokeswoman Kim Brooks says the attendant had been scheduled to work on a Milwaukee-to-Detroit flight Tuesday morning when federal Transportation Security Administration officers detected the inert grenade in her baggage.

1. Idiot, yes, getting off easy compared to other people who have

done this sort of stupid thing, yes.

I think a regular passenger who got caught doing this would be looking at fines in the 6 figure range and time in FPMITA Prison

Grade A, Prime Idiot.
