YOU ASH-HOLES!
There’s no recovering this fumble. New York Giants defensive lineman A.J. Francis is slamming Transportation Security Administration inspectors who, he says, spilled his dead mother’s ashes while rifling through his bag during a security check.
“Hey you pieces of s--t at @TSA next time you a--holes feel the need to go thru my mother’s ashes for no reason, make sure you close it back so her remains aren’t spilled on all my clothes . . . the least you pieces of garbage can do is your f--king job,” Francis tweeted Monday along with a photo of ash-covered clothing and a TSA “notice of bag inspection.”
His mother, Carrie, died last month, his social-media posts say.
Francis wrote that he had been on a trip to Arkansas and California to celebrate her life.
Her ashes were disturbed during a trip from Los Angeles to Orlando, he said.
“It’s a really s---ty situation, and I really wish that it didn’t happen considering what it was and that it was all over my clothes,” Francis told The Post on Monday.
Bags are checked at the point of origin — meaning LAX, according to a TSA spokeswoman.
A Twitter account for the agency acknowledged that screeners should not open ash-carrying vessels and apologized to the gridder.
“Our officers are trained to handle your carry-on and checked property with care. Out of respect for the deceased, under no circumstances should the container be opened. Please accept our apologies and our condolences,” the AskTSA account replied to Francis.
Francis tweeted back, “Under all circumstances f--k yourself.”
Francis, 28, who signed with the Giants in May after being cut by the Washington Redskins, said he does not plan to file a complaint with the TSA because “there’s no point. S--t ain’t gonna happen.”
“The craziest part of this @TSA s--t is that I dont even care that they checked it . . . they were just being cautious, & I can understand that,” he tweeted later in the day. “But to not ensure that it won’t spill back into my bag after you put it back in is the most asinine & irresponsible s--t I have ever seen.”
“I don’t want anyone to lose their job,” he told The Post.
The TSA later said it reviewed security video — and seemed to cast at least some blame on Francis, saying on Monday night, “The container was loosely packaged, unmarked and the contents unknown to the TSA officer.”
