Showalter said she was preparing to board a return flight to Jacksonville last February when she was ordered by security officers to put her watch in a bin and place it on a conveyor belt. She said she objected several times but was told she had no choice if she wanted to board her flight, so eventually she complied.
When she was put through an additional security check, she again asked to be allowed to retrieve her watch first. Again, the answer was no, she said.
When she finally returned to the conveyor belt, the Rolex was gone.
Showalter’s attorney, Howard Coker, said TSA contends Showalter never had a Rolex on her wrist that day, something she vehemently denies. Security cameras apparently weren’t working, according to Showalter and TSA’s response to inquiries by U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla.
Buck up, it was only worth $25k. And the non-working cameras are pure coincidence . . .
