GONE FISHIN’…FISHY’S GONE!

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 6, 2004 02:24 PM

Longtime readers know I’m an avid fisher. So you can understand the sympathy I feel for this poor guy, who caught a beautiful 40-pound halibut in Alaska, had it wrapped and packed in two ice chests to share with friends and family in Seattle, and then had the fish stolen by baggage handlers at the airport in Anchorage or Seattle. Both airports deny wrongdoing. Something stinks–and it’s not just the fish!

On a serious note, the fisherman asks:

If someone can steal 40 pounds of fish from a passenger’s baggage without anyone noticing, he asked, “What’s stopping them from putting a bomb in there and putting it on the plane?”
