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.

    Have you ever looked at their screen? This isn’t a 1970’s scan, the computer automatically flags anomalies and makes a box around them.

      Speaking from experience they seemed to actually catch more back then regardless.

      I miss the days of a magnetometer and keeping my shoes on.

      That’s good to hear.

      No, I can’t really get a look at them. They’re positioned to hide the screen an my airport. Well and airport security is a pain, so I’m trying to get through as quickly as possible.
