Seems to me that they erred by not taking their Vuitton overnight bag!

HOUSTON (CN) - A federal judge dismissed claims that Continental Airlines took a dildo from the luggage of a gay couple, greased it and taped it to the outside of their bag.
The humiliating display allegedly occurred while Christopher Bridgeman and Marin Borger returned to Virginia from Costa Rica.
The couple had picked up their luggage intact in Houston, went through customs and rechecked their bags for the next flight to Norfolk.
But while waiting at the baggage carousel in Virginia, the men allegedly found that someone had removed a sex toy from their luggage, taped it to the top of the bag and smeared it with "a greasy foul-smelling substance."
A description of the sex toy in question does not appear in the suit that the men filed this summer against Continental and United Continental Holdings in Harris County Court. In a photograph of the luggage posted by one blogger, however, there is a large purple dildo taped to a black duffel bag.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt dismissed the complaint Thursday.
The Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by Air, commonly known as the Montreal Convention, pre-empts the claims for damages related to the mishandling of luggage, according to the ruling.
Adopted in 1999, the Montreal Convention sets conditions and limits for the damages that passengers can seek.
Borger and Bridgeman were unable to circumvent the treaty to find relief, according to the four-page order.

So not classy. Color me appalled.

That bag should only be used for an overnight
trick trip, not a vacation. They should be humiliated.

Who travels internationally with a dildo?

I was wondering how long it would be before the victim was blamed.
You win !

It looks like it is inside the bag, but due to the bag being packed so tight (oh the puns) that the zipper got messed up. Could it be they inspected the bag, but couldn't get it zipped back up, and it the process broke the zipper? So, they taped it up? Just playing devil's advocate.
If this is the real pic, it is not taped to the outside.

Brilliant deductions, Sherlock :o

I don't think he's "blaming the victim." It's an observation like any other.

CAN WE PLEASE STOP TEARING EACH OTHER DOWN! KEEP IT POSITIVE!

You're welcome, Watson. All in a days work.

As someone who has actually worked as an airport baggage handler (aka ramp rat) I can tell the zipper ripped open on that cheap, overstuffed bag, the worker tossed that crap back in the bag, wrapped some tape around that sucker and threw it on the belt. You have 200 bags to move quickly and when you have to grab someone's purple dildo off the tarmac in the dark, in the pouring rain, making barely above minimum wage you are no mood to make it look pretty.

Does Dick have more than one cock? Or has she sucked off many guys named Dick? :D

Great catch....I missed that. Her dad might be just as upset about her grammar. ;D

I know this is probably blaming the victim again, but what about putting the "unmentionables" at the BOTTOM of your bag????

Obviously not a very well hung one if they need to travel with this. I bet he has shrunken testicles from eating too many fake tacos.

I have traveled with sex toys before, having zero intention of using them on the trip. I just put them in there, because at the time I knew there was a strong likelihood the TSA was going to go through my bag, and I wanted them to mess with them. I kinda despise the TSA, so any chance I have to mess with them a little bit, I will take. :)

Purple dildos are boring. I only travel with my Hello Kitty USB vibrating clit-hugger.
btw, can you imagine how absolutely hilarious it must have been for other passengers from this flight as this bag/dildo combo was going around the luggage carousel? You know it went around and around and around while this gay couple quietly debated whether or not to pick it up. In fact, I'm surprised that it wasn't posted on youtube by some other passenger.

That is way too cute.

One of them must be butt ugly or they wouldn't need to think about taking that.

The jelly dildo is as low rent as the bag.
I know a guy who runs a by-appointment-only fetish shop who told me only medical silicone dongs can be sterilized. Phthalate-free is not enough.
I checked it out and it appears he's correct.

When something like that happens you just need to own that shit and dare anyone to say anything to you when you grab your dildo-bag with pride.

Agreed. Honestly I would be more embarrassed that I jumped to the conclusion that airport staff were trying to personally humiliate me and I started a Federal court case with national news coverage than my purple dildo took a ride on the baggage carousel.
-
I agree , why buy a large festive coloured schlong if you don't want the world to see it .
-
They were humiliated by an isolated incident at an airport and try to get over it by bringing national attention to it. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I know everyone's wish has been to see this couple in question... so, here it is:

Apparently marrying someone who looks like your sibling is the new thing.

Strip em naked and spray paint them periwinkle blue and they'll look just like their dildo.
Or, what color is that thing exactly??
I used to hear this urban legend in NYC. That if there's an accident on a citybus, if there's no reason to get out of the bus, the driver is supposed to close the doors and wait for police. Otherwise passers-by will try to get on the bus to partake in lawsuits.
I think it was an 80s or 90s thing? When everyone and their mother were looking for easy "negligence" to sue their ways to Easy Street.

Somehow, this bears repeating:
How does this relate?

Are they both wearing sunglasses so they can look at each others shiny noggins and brilliant white teeth without being blinded?
And did anyone else notice it looks like the guy holding a drink has his right foot stuck in the ass-crack of a giant stone person? Or maybe it's just me - I've only had one cup of coffee so far today.
Oh, and btw, I've got a large double-ender very similar to theirs, only mine is a more pink-purple. It's been in my luggage too (not a euphemism) - when I brought it home from Amsterdam where I bought it. Thankfully I didn't have a cheap-ass bag so my secret was never revealed on the baggage carousel. :)
-
I would think they could have just left the thing at home and gave it a rest. They are a couple, so certainly they could have done without it for a few days.
Ann,
i bought my first toy in Amsterdam long time ago, you used to not be able to buy a dildo in texas for the longest time. My eyes were bigger than my back side, so i ended up throwing it in the dumpster. Its too bad they don't let you test it out before you buy it.

Okay, now that is all I see.

Haven't we all taken accoutrement érotique on our travels? Living in Greensboro or the Isle of Man, one must journey to get fine quality leather goods. Of course once you've taken a steam powered avionic propulsor through baggage claim a dildo feels a bit pedestrian. 8)
-
I think we have all learned a lesson . If your dildo is big enough for a cat collar the security people at the air port may just find it .
-
My Dildo is so Big... (How Big is it?)... It burst out the bag during landing, was greased and used by baggage handlers, turned purple, and hung out of the bag with the fly open when I found it... lol

Me and a buddy got drunk at happy hour some years back and decided it would be a good idea to go cock-ring shopping. We went to an adult book store and he decided he would need to try one on before he bought it, so they let him (us) open the package and try it on, of course my job was to "fluff" him in the dressing room to make sure it fit correctly. Prior to this incident we were platonic, but of course ended up having sex in the dressing room...and then not buying the cock ring. ahh, I miss the Tequila and cocaine days. ::)

Perhaps this is how you got teh AIDS. Playing with used dildos and cockrings.

Frankly, Mr. Wump, I'm shocked. I would never have sex in the dressing room of a boutique...
and not at least make a purchase. ;)
