TSA agents find all sorts of contraband in passengers’ baggage, but one recent discovery at Baltimore’s airport left them stunned.
During a routine check Monday, the agents say they discovered a missile launcher in a man’s checked bag, TV station WDAF reports.
The unidentified man, a resident of East Texas, told the TSA he was a member of the military and was heading home from Kuwait. The missile launcher, he claimed, was a souvenir.
The launcher wasn’t live, the TSA said, so agents let the man go after confiscating the device. Military weapons are never allowed in carry-on and checked baggage, according to WDAF.
