An actor from Grey’s Anatomy is talking about an incident with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) during a flight. Ellen Pompeo described being detained for an hour as they inspected a container of organic sunflower seeds she had brought on board. She also mentioned that, unexpectedly, the bomb squad was called in to handle the situation.
Ellen Pompeo is versatile and has many skills, but a recent incident at an airport left the police questioning her about an unforeseen talent. In a conversation with Travel + Leisure, the 55-year-old actress revealed details of an event from March this year where she was held up for possessing a bag of what might have been the most costly sunflower seeds available.
As they rummaged through her healthy snack and even prompted a visit from the bomb squad, Ellen Pompeo found herself wondering, “What’s going on? Is this some kind of prank?” Despite wanting to discard her ‘protein on the plane’, she was held up for inspection by the bomb squad. However, after an hour, she was released with the explanation that the likely cause was a chemical on the unopened packaging of the expensive, organic sunflower seeds.
In the heat of excitement, I nearly missed my flight, engrossed in a funny exchange with my publicist over the absurdity of the moment, being the actress I am.
Ellen Pompeo has played a crucial role in one of television’s most cherished series, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, where her character Dr. Meredith Grey evolved from an intern to a co-owner of the hospital.
