“#Bride reunited with diamond thanks to TSA agent at JFK<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A diamond is a girl\u2019s best friend \u2014 and for a Queens bride who lost her gem at JFK Airport, a TSA agent is a hero.<\/p>\n

Flushing residents Amir Khan Durrani\u00a0and his wife Madison\u2019s pandemic-delayed honeymoon to Guam got off to a rocky start at JFK Airport recently after they passed through the TSA\u2019s checkpoint at Terminal 7.<\/p>\n

When they stopped at a coffee place before boarding their flight, Madison screamed when she realized that her newly purchased diamond was missing from her engagement ring, the agency said in a news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife was crying hysterically as we did not know what happ<\/a>ened, nor did we know how to approach the situation,\u201d Durrani wrote in an email to the TSA.<\/p>\n

He raced back to the checkpoint and alerted the TSA agents.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was extremely kind and helped me as much as they could to locate the lost diamond,\u201d he said. \u201cI told them that I knew this was not their job\u201d to help find a lost diamond, although \u201ceveryone present helped look for the diamond to no avail.\u201d<\/p>\n

After they landed in Guam, the couple received a shocking text message and voicemail \u2014 the TSA believed the wayward gem had been found.<\/p>\n

The Durranis sent the agency a photo of the stone, which matched the one found at the checkpoint thanks to eagle-eyed lead TSA officer John Killian, who had returned to the location five hours after it was reported missing.<\/p>\n

While standing at the TSA supervisory podium, he glanced toward the checkpoint line to get a sense of how busy it was when a glint caught his attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I spotted the sparkle and thought to myself, \u2018No way that could really be it.\u2019 I walked over and picked it up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The diamond was lying on the floor between the metal detector and the X-ray machine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shine caught my eye. I was like, \u2018Wow, I just found this diamond!\u2019\u201d Killian added.<\/p>\n

In his email thanking the TSA, Durrani said their trip<\/a> \u201cwent from a chaotic moment to one at peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to commend everyone and their efforts for finding our diamond and safekeeping it before our return back to New York. I want to mention deep down in my heart, that this moment put us in relief. I hope everyone understands how much this meant to my wife and me,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much to all the staff present and especially to officer John Killian. I might not ever meet you, but you had an impact on us at that moment and I will never forget it. I wish you all the best for your efforts and honesty,\u201d the happy hubby added.<\/p>\n

After returning home from their honeymoon, the couple connected with TSA Manager Mishane Henry.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I handed over the diamond, I asked them to show me the ring to make sure that I could confirm handing it over to the right couple. It was a match,\u201d Henry said.<\/p>\n

John Bambury, the TSA\u2019s federal security director at the airport, said, \u201cThis is a fine example of the integrity of our workforce here at JKF Airport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that it is always rewarding when our team is able to reunite a passenger with something that they\u2019ve left behind or lost at the checkpoint,\u201d he said. \u201cWe frequently return a jacket, a Teddy bear or a set of keys that have been left at one of our checkpoints.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut returning a lost diamond will certainly be one we will always remember,\u201d Bambury added.<\/p>\n

Efforts by The Post to reach the couple Thursday were unsuccessful.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
