Passenger sues Delta- over an apple.
Just saw a story where a Denver woman is suing Delta over an apple that was given to her as a snack on an international flight. The woman states that she wasn’t hungry, so she stuffed the offending apple into her carry-on baggage only to neglect to declare said apple when going through customs and immigration. Since Delta originally gave her the apple on her flight to the US, Obviously they should be liable for her $500 fine!!
Apparently there is no end to people who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.....

While I don't see anything about suing Delta, the fact that she blames Delta in the article is utterly ridiculous....personal responsibility?? She should've received a customs form that asks about fruit....gmab

She also stated that she's worried about losing Global Entry. That is a realistic possibility. This is worth a read for international crewmembers: https://mic.com/articles/188797/losi...ake#.cLIavwUWA

But when she took to the public bandwidth to blast DL for "handing out foreign apples" she basically shredded any chance of sympathy based on reasonableness because that was so radically unreasonable of a premise in the first place.

No $500 fine but they came with a chem/bio sterile bag and used gloves to take it from my hand and put into the bag.
