TSA Hassles Kansas "Bunny Lady" Over Easter Eggs

 

Valerie Baul, 35, of Roeland Park, Ks, loves Easter and its traditions. For years, she has spread Easter joy by dressing up as the Easter Bunny and is known around Kansas as the "Bunny Lady." Apparently the TSA wasn't amused when she showed up at the airport with Easter Eggs in her carry on.


Baul faces charges of harassment after a TSA agent inquired about the basket of eggs, which Baul says had just passed through an airport security X-ray machine.

"She said, 'What are those?' And I said, 'Well, they're eggs filled with confetti. You want to see what's inside? Here you go, you win, let's find out together.' And I put it on her head. And I didn't think anything of it," Baul, who was wearing pink bunny ears at the time, tells the TV outlet.

The TSA agent was not amused to be showered with confetti. Airport police authorities were called and Baul, who is also a community radio DJ in Kansas, says she was handcuffed and ended up being incarcerated at the airport for three hours. The incident occurred Valentine's Day weekend.

The "Bunny Lady" is due in court in Philadelphia in September on a misdemeaner harassment charge.
