Ellen Pompeo, the beloved star of Grey’s Anatomy, recently shared that she was temporarily detained by the TSA—not for anything dangerous, but over a bag of fancy sunflower seeds from a high-end grocery store. She didn’t specify why the seeds raised alarms, but it’s another quirky example of airport security’s unpredictable scrutiny.

Editor’s Note: This is one of those odd, lighthearted stories that highlights how even A-list celebrities aren’t immune to the occasional absurdity of travel hassles. While it’s not a serious issue, it’s relatable—who hasn’t had a weird run-in with TSA? It also subtly underscores how security protocols can sometimes feel arbitrary, even if they’re well-intentioned.
