Owner Of The Famous Boston Lobster Angered By TSA Inspection

On Monday, a Transportation Security Administration spokesman tweeted a picture of a giant lobster found in passenger Christopher Stracuzza's luggage at Boston's Logan Airport. Although the news went viral, Stracuzza wasn't aware of his famous crustacean until he arrived back in his home in Savannah, Georgia, and a friend told him the lobster was "all over the internet."

According to The New York Times, Stracuzza was angered by the inspection when he found the lobster was removed, and then placed back on top of other lobsters.

"Just because it was labeled 'live lobster' doesn't mean there could be a bomb in there," he said. "They are dumb. They are like the dumbest people in the world."

He wasn't the only one angered by the TSA's inspection — Lisa Feinman , owner of Atlantic Seafood Market in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, was also upset by the move and wrote a post on Facebook about it.

"This TSA agent should mind his own business," Feinman wrote, expressing her anger over how the TSA agent had to go through 12 lobsters to get to the larger one. "Seriously, nothing better to do? And who would be to blame when these lobsters show up with a claw broken off because the TSA agent doesn't know how to properly handle a lobster?"

Anger aside, the giant lobster and the others were intact and ready for the cookout Stracuzza had planned the weekend came back from Boston. The lobsters were served over a table covered in newspaper with melted butter and cans of Bud Light.

There was so much lobster left over, Stracuzza had leftovers for three days.
