TSA finds bullets "artfully concealed" in diaper at LaGuardia Airport in NYC

New York City TSA agents found 17 bullets "artfully concealed" in a clean, disposable diaper that a man was trying to bring on a plane at LaGuardia Airport, the agency announced Wednesday. 

The officers found the surprising cargo on Wednesday morning, according to a TSA news release. The man's bag triggered an alarm in an X-ray unit at a security checkpoint. When officers searched the man's bag, they found the diaper, which had 17 9-millimeter bullets wrapped inside. 

The man, a resident of Arkansas who has not been identified, first told TSA officials that he didn't know how the diaper ended up in his bag. Later, he said his girlfriend must have placed it in the bag.
