TSA lists guns, suspicious devices and a dead shark among its 'Top 10 Catches' of 2020
Fox News
On Tuesday, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published a list of its top 10 “good catches” of 2020, detailing some of the very dangerous and very weird prohibited items that its officers detected throughout the year.
"Our Officers are real-life superheroes, helping keeping passengers safe as travel," the TSA noted in a Tuesday Twitter post that also featured a video clip describing each item, and where it was confiscated. Among the top 10 things confiscated from travelers, TSA officers caught passengers carrying weapons including a slingshot (#10) and a book containing concealed knives (#9), as well as a few flashier prohibited items like a bundle of roman candles (#8) and a smoke grenade (#7). But that’s when the list takes a turn for the weird, as TSA officers apparently needed to relieve a traveler of his dead baby shark, which was found floating in a chemical preservative deemed to be too dangerous for air travel (#6). In 2020, the TSA’s security personnel were also forced to disassemble what looked like a pipe bomb, only to find it was a "homemade humidor for a traveler’s cigars" (#5).More Related News
