LAX Cops Slammed for Jamie Lynn Spears Scam
Andrade, Perkins, PacificCoastNews.com
The airport security at LAX is under some heat after attempting to pull a stunt that involved fooling the paps with a Jamie Lynn Spears lookalike. Jamie Lynn was arriving to LAX last weekend from an Atlanta flight and the paps were waiting at the airport in all their frenzied glory. To ensure that Jamie Lynn arrived at LAX with no disturbances, the cops set up a fake Jamie Lynn arrival and asked one of the other travelers on the same flight to volunteer as a lookalike. And this is who you see here, a fake Jamie Lynn being escorted by the security to fool the paps. And from the sounds of it, the ploy worked as the real Jamie Lynn and her mom Lynne Spears got off the flight and out of the airport with absolutely no trouble at all, and no word from the paps. The fake Jamie Lynn on the other hand was thronged by the media and thus used the security to leave the airport. Well, from the sounds of it, the higher ups at the airport were not too pleased about the incident and an internal investigation is being conducted to find out who set this up and why. A spokesperson for LAX says
It is not the policy or practice for Airport Police to provide a celebrity decoy,” a spokesperson for LAX told E! News. “Los Angeles World Airports policy prohibits special courtesies to be provided to celebrities, unless extenuating circumstances such as threat of danger to the individual or the safety of the general public are involved.”
Kinda wierd, doncha think? One would think that the excuse of ‘being a Spears’ would be more than enough of an extenuating circumstance to justify a security scam. I mean, it’s not like we are trying to keep a Kardashian from being mobbed or something. But, the airport peeps don’t agree and thus some of the security cops that were involved are being investigated. I gotta say though, the paps in California can’t be all that bright. Did they even LOOK at this girl? Short brown hair. Yep. MUST be a Spears girl. DOI!
