Russian Playboy Model Detained At LAX Because Security Thought She Was A Spy
NY Post- A Russian Playboy model claims she was recently detained by US agents on arrival in LA — because they thought she was a spy.
Victoria Bonya, 37, said in online posts that she was grilled after airport agents rooting through her luggage found a business card for Spy-Land, a company that specializes in hidden cameras.
“Instead of asking some real questions, the officer decided to talk about our president [Vladimir Putin],” she wrote on Instagram on Feb. 23.
“Finding out everything about my position, he started talking about the KGB,” she added. “I started laughing, as I really thought it was a joke, until they asked me the same thing for a third time!’’
Bonya finally managed to convince authorities at LAX that the card had just been randomly passed to her after showing officials her social-media accounts. She has 1.9 million Twitter followers and more than 5 million fans on Instagram.
I don’t blame this security guard one bit. Guy finds a business card for Spy-Land (lol), has to assume the Russian 10 in front of him is a spy, right? Can’t be too careful these days. If there is even the slightest chance the Russians are using playboy models to learn our secrets, we need to be VIGILANT. And let me tell you something–I was. I immediately performed a background check of her Instagram account in the bathroom. For now, she’s clean, but I may go back for a second check after lunch. Just doing my duty as an American, keeping us all safe.
Love the TSA guy’s questions though. “How do you feel about Vladimir Putin? Do you work for the KGB?” That’s the kind of nuanced questioning that is sure to confound a Russian spy.
PS- Ms Bonya, who has recently announced her separation from the son of Irish businessman Alex Smurfit, had her luggage scanned when she was detained.
Do I even have a choice? #slyde
