Usa Travel news: Replica Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Where: Chicago O’Hare International Airport What TSA had to say : Even if not real, replica or inert explosives are not allowed, at all, in carry-on or checked bags. 

Never. Nay. Nope. Negatory. Yeah, no ... While the actual item here looks a bit Wile E. Coyote-ish, the X-ray image was far more realistic ... When our officers spot a potential explosive on the X-ray monitor, they cannot just take the traveler’s word that the item is not real. 

A TSA Explosives Specialist or Police Department Bomb Squad must respond before the bag is ever opened. This can lead to costly evacuations, delays, and missed flights while explosives professionals determine whether the item is real or not. These types of items can lead to hefty fines and arrest… 

This replica Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was in a traveler’s carry-on bag at the Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD). As a result, the checkpoint was closed for a total of 19 minutes before the Chicago Police Bomb Squad was able to respond and clear the item.

Firearm concealed in a raw chicken Where: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport What TSA had to say : There’s a personal fowl here … 

The plot chickens as we barrel our way closer to Thanksgiving. For us, it’s a time to be thankful that our officers are always working around the cluck to keep you safe. Take for instance this “hen you believe it?” find at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. 

We hate to beak it to you here, but stuffing a firearm in your holiday bird for travel is just a baste of time. This idea wasn’t even half-baked; it was raw, greasy, and obviously unsupervised. 

The only roast happening here is this poor packing choice! Feather you like it or not, there are rules for traveling with guns and ammunition. So, don’t wing it; roost over the proper packaging info through the link in our bio.
