clearvision Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 CBS News: A Transportation Security Administration officer discovered something more than just three stuffed animals inside a carry-on bag going through the conveyor belt of a Rhode Island airport X-ray checkpoint Monday. Hidden inside each of the three toy animals were ammunition parts that when put together become a handgun, said the TSA. A TSA official at the T.F. Green International Airport in Providence noticed the concealed parts in the bag belonging to a 4-year-old who was with his father en route to Detroit. The man told authorities that he didn't know there were ammunition parts in the toys. The items were seized and the man and child were allowed to go on their flight. An investigation is continuing, said the TSA, which added the incident did not affected airport operations. ------ Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyM Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Almost sounds like something the TSA would set up in an effort to justify itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
