It was a loaded diaper, but not like you would think.
Security officers found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby diaper Wednesday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.
Officers pulled the otherwise clean diaper from a passenger’s carry-on bag after it triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said.
All that trouble over maybe $10 worth of ammunition… You’d think they’d just quietly drop it in the trash or something. It’s not like it’s some kind of ultra-precious irreplaceable unobtanium or something.
Yeah this ain’t 5.7mm we’re talking about here
TSA will do anything to justify their existence. Finding anything related to weapons is like pornography to them.
“BUT IT’S MAH RIGHTS TO CARRY BULLETS ON THIS AIRPLANE! FREEZE PEACH!”
