Grey’s Anatomy Star Ellen Pompeo Reveals Shocking Airport Experience
Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo has opened up about a recent encounter with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that left her in shock. During an interview with Travel + Leisure, Pompeo shared that she was detained for an hour and had the bomb squad brought in after trying to bring organic sunflower seeds on board. The expensive seeds were purchased from Erewhon, a high-end Los Angeles grocery store.
Pompeo expressed confusion over why her $4 bag of sunflower seeds sparked such a serious response, saying “what is happening? Is this a joke?” She attributes the incident to a chemical on the packaging of the expensive seeds. The actress was left feeling frustrated and concerned for her “protein” on the plane.
