TSA Finds Three Landmines in Woman's Luggage
A New Jersey woman flying to San Francisco to attend an explosives demonstration packed three shrapnel-filled landmines for the occasion. TSA screeners were not impressed. (www.nycaviation.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The devices were confiscated, she was rebooked and allowed to proceed to San Francisco. At the same time, it sounds quirky they didn’t check further .. while it was said these “were harmless”, who’s to say someone else on the same flight was not carrying the other required components and got thru ?
If this stuff was in checked baggage I doubt that another person with other devices could access the cargo hold of the aircraft.
actually there are a lot of ramp agents who are paid less than necessary to live, so i can see how 6 figures may motivate some already sketchy ramp agents to connect the dots. There are a lot of loopholes in the so-called security.
TSA actually did their job should be the story here
I agree, can't blame TSA for this one. It should be obvious to pack items like that in checked baggage even if they are fake.
Actually, they found fake landmines, no explosives, which are still banned. (Why?)
Toy guns are banned as well...obviously some people dont know the difference....
