Another fun week at the TSA...
TSA Week in Review – 41 Firearms Discovered This Week (33 Loaded)

41 Firearms Discovered This Week – Of the 41 firearms, 33 were loaded and eight had rounds chambered. See a complete list and more photos at the bottom of this post.
Inert Ordnance and Grenades etc. - We continue to find inert hand grenades and other weaponry on a weekly basis. Please keep in mind that if an item looks like a realistic bomb, grenade, mine, etc., it is prohibited. When these items are found at a checkpoint or in checked baggage, they can cause significant delays in checkpoint screening. While they may be novelty items, you cannot bring them on a plane. Read here on why inert items cause problems.

Artfully Concealed Prohibited Items – It’s important to examine your bags prior to traveling to ensure no prohibited items are inside. If a prohibited item is discovered in your bag or on your body, you could be cited and quite possibly arrested by local law enforcement. Here are a few examples from this week where prohibited items were found by our officers in strange places.
A pocket knife was found taped inside the interior lining of a bag at Denver (DEN).
Two credit card knives were discovered in two separate incidents at Kansas City (MCI).
A belt buckle knife was discovered at Los Angeles (LAX).
