Ohio Couple Held By TSA; Miss Flight & Honeymoon Cruise

When you tie the knot, one of the most exciting things is planning your honeymoon.

Mike and Kim Miranda planned to embark on a cruise for their honeymoon. They planned to fly from Columbus to Florida after their wedding, where they would catch their cruise ship.

The newlyweds said they looked at the Transportation Security Administration web site the night before their flight and packed according to the rules and regulations.

They arrived at Port Columbus International Airport approximately an hour and 15 minutes before their scheduled flight. The couple waited in line at the security checkpoint, but was pulled aside by the TSA for a bottle of contact solution they had packed in their carry-on bag.

The couple told NBC4 that they were detained for 30 to 45 minutes while TSA brought in staff and equipment to test the solution.

The contact solution was later deemed safe and the couple was told they could go on their travels.
