Ellen Pompeo<\/a> reveals she experienced a peculiar security incident at the airport when TSA officials summoned a bomb squad to examine her healthy snack choice.<\/p>\n

The beloved Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> actress shared details about the March carry-on situation in a recent chat with Travel+Leisure<\/em><\/a> magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a bag of sunflower seeds, like organic sunflower seeds from Erewhon, so they were probably the most expensive sunflower seeds money can buy,\u201d Pompeo said about her purchase from the fancy Los Angeles store that she tried bringing aboard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey literally held me for an hour, and they brought the bomb squad in,\u201d the 55-year-old star said.<\/p>\n
