Honey, Oyster Shut Down Tallahassee Airport

Jun 13th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

A food writer carrying a stash of goodies back home caused a 3 hour shutdown of Tallahassee airport yesterday. For some reason, his bag filled with an oyster shell, honey, spice rub and a tape recorder seemed so suspicious that authorities shut down the airport to fully investigate. They investigated and found that the guy was just carrying a tape recorder, spice rub, honey and an oyster shell. Keep up the good work.
