It’s one thing to ‘forget’ you have something in a pocket or suitcase that the TSA won’t let through the screening area. It’s another to try and smuggle an entire cache of weapons through.
TSA agents at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport arrested a guy after he tried and failed to get a ‘six prohibited items’ across the screening area.
According to a TSA spokesperson via Twitter there was “Six prohibited items among a traveler’s carry-on items at @LGAairport on Sunday – 3 saw blades, nunchucks, a switchblade and a knife that folds into a bullet-shaped sheath.”
Go ahead and read that back again.
While he couldn’t have those items in his carry-on he could’ve put them in his checked bag and everything would’ve been find.
A lump of coal for this guy for the holiday. Six prohibited items among a traveler's carry-on items at @LGAairport on Sunday – 3 saw blades, nunchucks, a switchblade and a knife that folds into a bullet-shaped sheath. @TSA recommends packing these items in a checked bag. pic.twitter.com/cnio2E9Pkv
