She also had three knives, two replica firearms and a canister of pepper spray.
It takes a lot to shock the TSA, but one traveler managed to pull it off when agents found dozens of fireworks and weapons in her carry-on luggage. The woman’s bag was flagged for search at Los Angeles International Airport ’s terminal 4 on December 15 when a screener saw suspicious items on the X-ray machine. Inside were 82 fireworks, three knives, two replica firearms and a canister of pepper spray.
Regardless, explosives such as fireworks are never permitted in luggage – whether checked or carried on. Knives, replica firearms, and small amounts of pepper spray can be put in checked bags for domestic flights. The passenger, who was flying to Philadelphia, was interviewed by police while the LAX bomb squad confiscated the fireworks. And the explosives-toting traveler isn’t the only passenger who has tried to bring contraband through LAX in recent weeks.
