TSA confiscates Oscar statuette at JFK Airport; documentary filmmaker reports it missing after being checked baggage
Pavel (Pasha) Talankin, co-director of the Academy Award-winning documentary "Mr. Nobody Against Putin," was prevented by TSA agents at JFK Airport terminal 1 from carrying his Oscar statuette aboard a Lufthansa flight on Wednesday, allegedly due to security concerns. After rejecting a compromise offer where Lufthansa would hold the trophy during flight, Talankin was told to check it as baggage; he placed it in a cardboard box provided by the airline, which subsequently went missing.
