Oscar for 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin' goes missing after TSA check

Rapportert av AI Bilde generert av AI

Pavel Talankin, co-director and subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary 'Mr. Nobody Against Putin,' lost his Oscar statuette after TSA at New York's JFK Airport forced him to check it as a potential weapon. The award vanished upon his arrival in Frankfurt on a Lufthansa flight. Co-director David Borenstein has publicly appealed for its return.

The Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Friday to fund most Department of Homeland Security operations except ICE and Border Patrol, but House Republicans signaled they will reject it. President Donald Trump signed an executive order the same day to pay TSA agents affected by the ongoing partial shutdown. The move came as airport security lines lengthened due to unpaid workers calling out or quitting.

The US Department of Homeland Security has deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to several major airports as of March 23, 2026, amid a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing crisis caused by a partial government shutdown. ICE personnel are providing support at hubs like Atlanta (ATL), New York (JFK), and Newark (EWR), but not at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Travelers to Disney parks face extended wait times at understaffed checkpoints.
