• Can't a grandma send her grandson home with an early Christmas gift without raising suspicions among the TSA? No, she can't.
Actor Brett Gaffney headed back to Los Angeles on after spending Thanksgiving in his native Kansas, People reported.
At Kansas City International Airport, he said, "I got stopped at the airport security, and ... it was because of this briefcase my grandma gave me as an early Christmas gift, and she said don't open it until you get to California."
Gaffney followed her directions, but TSA wasn't having it. "They asked me what was inside, and I said, 'I don't know, I don't know.' They said, 'What do you mean? You're bringing a briefcase and you don't know what's inside?'"
Turns out, Gaffney's nana had gifted him a vintage Smith-Corona typewriter.
"Who am I, Tom Hanks?" Gaffney joked.
He continued his story on TikTok: "I didn't think I'd use this, but here we are. It's so calming. All I want to do is stay home and type on my typewriter."
Thanks, Grandma. [People, 12/4/2023]
