At Orlando International Airport, a passenger attempted to avoid paying for a checked bag by stuffing all his belongings into a pillowcase and insisting it was just a pillow. The situation escalated, involving security and eventually the police.
“Stop letting these sites, social media, give you tips and tricks because sometimes it’s not gonna work,” she said in the video.
This dude was trying to take in a pillowcase full of clothing and other items, which he is stating was simply just a pillowcase,” she explained. “And the dude was like bro, everybody can see it’s not a freaking pillow, like come on.
Despite being offered an opportunity to pay for checking his items, the man waited until the authorities closed the doors before attempting to settle the extra baggage fee. In a last-ditch effort, he even tried to force his way onto the plane, but the airline staff firmly reminded him that he had missed his chance to pay.
Security personnel called the police, who then escorted the man out. In conclusion, perhaps it’s best not to take advice from the internet!
TikTok users voiced their concern in the comments, questioning how someone could take such a significant risk at an airport and remain unyielding.
One user pointed out, “The airport is the one place I’m ensuring I’m a model citizen. Aren’t people afraid of felonies and being placed on the no-fly list?”
Another person asserted, “I’m willing to fight anywhere, anytime, except at the airport. Ending up on the ‘no-fly list’ is worse than having a bad credit score.”
Someone else confidently stated, “When I’m at the airport, I make sure to behave correctly. You won’t find me on the no-fly list.”
And an individual claiming to be an airport employee humorously commented, “I watched that original video and thought, ‘That will never work.’ It’s satisfying to see it play out as expected!”
