We have almost no details on this, other than one photo posted on Facebook and a brief eyewitness report . . . but we still LOVE it.

On Tuesday, at 7:30 in the morning, a VERY classy woman was going through security at Dulles International Airport in the Washington D.C. area.

She wanted to bring through her PLASTIC HANDLE of SMIRNOFF VODKA.  The TSA told her no, since it was over three ounces.  But rather than throw out $17 of cheap vodka, she started drinking it right there.  Again, it was 7:30 in the morning.

Apparently she even offered sips of the vodka to other passengers, but it's not clear if anyone took her up on the offer.  And also, TSA was, quote, "not amused" by any of this.
