Man wants $5M after TSA detained him for joking about peanut butter

A jar of peanut butter got Frank Hannibal into a jam (sorry … we had to), and now the New York man wants the TSA to fork over $5 million. Hannibal tried to carry a jar of Crazy Richard’s natural peanut butter onto a flight, but the security screener, confused by the layer of oil on top of the peanut butter, pulled him out of line. Hannibal told his wife "They're looking to confiscate my explosives." No one thought his joke was funny, and he was led out of LaGuardia in handcuffs. Hannibal was detained for 25 hours (and — gasp — the jail's peanut butter sandwiches were not fancy), and he's since filed a lawsuit. "To be led out of there like a terrorist was unbelievable," he said. "It was a nightmare." [Source]
