This week at the security checkpoint

Friday afternoon is the “look what we found this week” day at the Transportation Security Administration blog. This week’s top find is a sword hidden in a cane. The person trying to sneak it through airport security who had no idea his/her cane was a sword says the cane was a present from a relative.

The TSA also reports finding miniature bottles of booze in the socks of one passenger, while noting it’s not a banned item.

And again this week, there are an unusual number of people flying around with inert hand grenades in their luggage.
