JFK Staffer Lets Kim and Kanye Cut in Line: Fair or Foul?

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did not have a quiet little getaway to South America this past week. As is often the case with the publicity magnets, they were followed all over Brazil.

Photos emerged of the lovebirds controversially recreating the Christ the Redeemer statue pose in Rio de Janeiro. They were spotted partying on a balcony with movie icon Will Smith during Carnival. And after West and Smith were spied leaving a recording studio, rumors started to swirl that they might be collaborating on a music project. So it’s curious to think that Kimye might think they could easily slink through one of the world’s biggest airports without being notice.

Kim Kardashian Kanye West

On Wednesday, when they touched down at JFK Airport, they probably should have gone through security like everyone else before boarding their plane to Los Angeles. Instead, an overzealous American Airlines staffer guided Kim and Kanye to bypass the official checkpoint so they wouldn’t miss their flight.

But when the TSA heard what happened, they yanked the reality star and rapper off their plane, forcing their fellow travelers to wait almost an hour for departure. Officials are saying that the situation wasn’t Kardashian and West’s fault. After all, they’re so used to special treatment, they probably didn’t think about it one way or the other. But do you think what happened was fair or foul?

    The staffer should be on the unemployment rolls. Two people so undeserving of any special treatment. Our values of who matters in this life is so twisted.

    That is such bs. Stop giving celebs special treatment, that just grows their stupid (and not even worked for) superiority-complex. They can be adults and be on time.

    These two are no better than anyone else in the airport. The staffer needs a pink slip.
    All of the Kardashians need to book a flight with NASA and be sent to CARDASSIA

    They didn't ask to skip security, the employee made the call to bypass security. What were they suppose to do??? Say No, that's ok, we will wait in line instead? As if anyone else would have turned down the option to skip the wait....NOT!!! It was the employees miss-step, not theirs.

    They didn't have to take advantage of this employee's obviously misguided perception, they may have even gained a couple points by not accepting it showing that they didn't think they were any better than anybody else waiting in line, but NOOOOOOO, they are better than everybody else aren't they!! In their minds any way.........I don't think there's rock big enough for those heads....

    After making the other passengers wait for an hour to correct the screw-up they could have at least tossed them out at 10,000 ft. and it would have been a real crowd-pleaser.

    The person who gave them "special treatment" needs to be fired. Someone who is famous because of a sex tape who contributes nothing to society except for annoying TV shows that make me lose faith in humanity doesn't actually need "special treatment", and Kanye West isn't even a very good rapper.

    Airline staff person should be TERMINATED as soon as possible. This could have turned into a major security risk. No one should be exempt. Now we know who places our lives in danger, US and stupidity.

    I am so angry about the abuse of authority by the TSA. They steal tiny GI Joe plastic toy guns from small children. They force an elderly senator to strip to prove his metal hip implant. They crush the ostomy bags of surgical patients and grope cancer survivors. And now we see just how easy it is for an airlines employee to "sneak" people past all the TSA security requirements. Some security measures. Even if the self-centered entertainers expect special treatment, don't tell me they haven't heard about security at airports. Then the TSA has the GALL to make passengers who are on the plane wait almost an hour to process these two. They should have been held and made to wait for another flight, the AA worker fired (or at least suspended without pay and forced to take 100 hours more security training) and the plane allowed to take off as scheduled.

    Foul to let them cut the line, and foul to make the other passengers wait while they are belatedly passed through security. Should have just pulled them out and let the plane go. I cannot think of any two people in the world less deserving of celebrity.

    This happens everyday with anyone that can pay the price. Money talks loud and clear about anything that is wanted legal or not. Too much to worry about without getting stressed about this since it is going to happen anyway.

    First off, they shouldn't have been escorted past security without undergoing the proper measures. Missing a flight isn't the end of the world. Second, the TSA was right to pull them off the flight. Third, the TSA was wrong to make the rest of the plane wait an hour. The plane should have left on time and "Kimye" should have been put onto another plane.

    That staffer should get fired. The principle is you make EVERYBODY go through the security-otherwise it's not really SECURITY!!! No exceptions!! DUH!!

    I'd like them flown to Kenya, to meet up with Obama's half brother-the one whose 'thick as thieves' with the Al Queda dude there. Leave them there for a few months..or years..
