This is just unreal. What was the flight attendant thinking bringing a Hand Grenade on a flight. I do not care if it was deactivated, you have to have better judgment than that.

A Northwest Airlines flight attendant faces criminal charges after security officers found a real — but inactive — hand grenade in her carry-on luggage at Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, officials said Wednesday.

The flight attendant, a 39-year-old woman from Cordova, Tenn., was scheduled to work on a Milwaukee-to-Detroit flight Tuesday morning when federal Transportation Security Administration officers detected an inert grenade in her baggage, said Kim Brooks, a spokeswoman for the Milwaukee County sheriff’s office. They called sheriff’s deputies, who arrested her about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, Brooks said.

She told deputies she bought the grenade at an Army surplus store as a present for her son, Brooks said. via St. Paul Pioneer Press
