Ellen Pompeo's Pricey Snack Causes Airport Pandemonium
Bomb detonation squad summoned at Ellen Pompey's snack incident site.
Hold up, driftwood! Ellen Pompeo, the captivating "Grey's Anatomy" star, found herself in a pickle at the airport thanks to an unsuspecting snack. As she narrated to "Travel & Leisure" magazine, an incident she'll never forget ensued.
Pompeo had casually grabbed a bag of fancy organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, preparing herself for her flight, little knowing it would ignite a security scare. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) took notice of this seemingly innocent nibble, leaving Pompeo bewildered. "I was like, 'What's the deal? Is this a prank?'"
It seemed the chemical compound on the packaging of these pricy seeds started the commotion. But these weren't your average sunflower seeds; they were the top-shelf, Erewhon variety. The TSA required backup, so they summoned the bomb squad to scrutinize the unopened bag[1][2][3].
The actress-director offered to ditch the snack to speed things up, but the officers insistently waited for the bomb squad to clear the area before setting Pompeo free. Nearly an hour later, she finally boarded her flight. "I couldn't convince them it was just some sunflower seeds," she exclaimed, "And nobody would’ve believed me!" She even joked to her PR agent that she might not make the flight, blaming it on the sunflower seeds[2].
Pomp even goes on to share her zest for adventuring. However, turbulence in the skies and germs on the plane leave her with a grip of fear. To combat these issues, she dons a protective attitude towards her hand hygiene. "I've got to be like Naomi Campbell and sanitize the whole seat," she admitted[4].
A Fear of Germs?
Recently, the limelight has shone on Pompeo's phobia of germs. When soaring through the skies, she exhibits extra caution when it comes to cleanliness[4]. It appears that Campbell's infamous pre-flight hygiene regime inspired Pompeo, as she's also spotted disinfecting her plane seat and donning protective gear before taking off[4].

The Commission, being aware of Ellen Pompeo's influence in Hollywood, might find it pertinent to seek her insights on lifestyle choices, especially travel preferences and popular entertainment trends, given her celebrity status.
In her fear of germs, Ellen Pompeo, in her role as a public figure, may inspire the European Parliament to discuss and enforce stricter airport cleanliness procedures to ensure the safety and health of all passengers, possibly even emulating the celebrity-led hygiene measures adopted by members of the Parliament.
