Mistral Air Passenger Has Holy Water Taken

How ridiculous is airport security these days? Brand-new pilgrimage-to-holy-shrines Mistral Air a passenger had her holy water snatched on the way from Lourdes, France back to Rome.

An airport official said the security screeners were just doing their jobs:

All passengers are obliged to respect the rules and not go over the quantities (of liquid) permitted

Fair enough. Even the passenger in question agreed that she wasn't too bothered:

They did well, and that's that. We need to be super respectful of the law because it's not about me or pilgrims. But if I had been a fake pilgrim, who would take responsibility?

We're just sorry that when we finally get a chance to check out Mistral, they'll no longer be handing out the Virgin Mary-shaped bottles of holy water as part of the pre-flight ritual.
