The story is told by our regional TV network, HR, over a traveler making his way through the Frankfurt Airport...late last week.
The older guy (67), a German, had this great trip planned out from Frankfurt to Thailand. He was taking two expensive bottles of wine with him....in the carry-on luggage.
Security stops him....way over the limit for carry-on liquids. Nope, not going to allow you to go like this.
He moves back to the non-security area....opens up the two bottles and guzzles down the two wines. He passes through the security area, and makes his way to the gate.
I'm guessing at this point, but it took around 30 minutes for the effect to occur, and he tried to find a bathroom....pressing on some door that led to the ramp area instead, and alerting the cops.
Cops apprehend him, and he misses his flight. The talk over the fine for this? Well....he was uncooperative with the cops and entered the ramp....so the cops say near 10,000 Euro. A hearing will be held in a month or so.....to settle upon some amount. Maybe the judge will feel some good nature and cut the amount by half.
