Cincinnati Courthouse is Shut Down due to a Perfume Bottle which is shaped like a Hand-Grenade ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




On Tuesday, June 30th, 2015 the Hamilton County courthouse in Cincinnati, OH was evacuated after a suspicious item was detected inside of a suitcase which was being carried by a woman who had entered the building. The woman, Felicia Brock, is pictured below.



  

Per Hamilton County Sheriff's official Jim Knapp something "didn't look right" as Felicia went through the security screening around 8.15 am while toting along two (2) suitcases.  





What didn't look right turned out to be nothing more than a bottle of perfume, albeit one which looked, through the x-ray machine, exactly like a WWII era "pineapple hand-grenade".





Bomb sniffing dogs were called in and "got a hit on something", but, in hindsight, apparently they were seriously thrown off scent (sorry couldn't resist the pun).






Authorities shut down the Hamilton County courthouse and evacuated the premises, ans also closed Main Street while crews dealt with the potentially explosive situation. However, after hours of investigation (which included a robot being sent into the courthouse) the situation was, er, diffused.  Again, c'mon...





Felicia was first arrested, then un-arrested and is now accusing officials of profiling and discriminating against her merely because she is a Muslim woman who wears a hijab.  Per Felicia:  "I didn't do anything wrong.  I just came in here for court minding my own business. I was like 'There's nothing in there... there's just perfume and my belongings.  And they basically discriminated against me.  I didn't do nothing. I just came here for court."  Memo to Felicia:  Get over yourself.  You were not the victim of discrimination.  Not remotely.  You were reasonably detained because you passed a bottle of perfume that looks exactly like a hand-grenade through an x-ray machine in a court facility.  Once again...





Memo to Felicia continued:  It would not have mattered if you were Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian an Atheist or a subscriber of any other faith.  Nor did your hijab have anything to do with your detention and questioning.  I am a mostly-bald, short, white, male lawyer, and if I had carried that perfume bottle in my briefcase then I would have been detained just like you.  That said, you should not feel too bad because you did not invent this particular wheel.  In March 2014, TSA agents in Phoenix closed down Sky Harbor International Airport when they found a bottle of Jimmy Choo perfume during a search.  





Memo to Felicia continued:  The Viktor & Rolf scent 'Spicebomb' also happens to be shaped to look like a  hand-grenade.  I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone else is discriminated against, only not for their race, gender or religion; rather for their taste in perfume.
