TSA confiscates rocket-propelled grenade launcher at airport

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confiscated a "military rocket propelled grenade launcher" at a Pennsylvania airport on Monday.

The grenade launcher was found in pieces and unassembled in a man's checked bag at Lehigh Valley International Airport, TSA Public Affairs spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said in a Twitter post.

In a press release, the TSA said that the launcher belonged to a Florida man and that it set off alarms as it was passing through the airport's security equipment.

The unassembled pieces of the grenade launcher included a barrel, trigger, sights and a grenade replica, the TSA said.

Did they have to pry it out of his cold dead hands?

He could probably take out a wall with a grenade launcher though.
