A traveler at San Antonio International Airport was caught packing more than just clothes in their suitcase Monday.
Transportation Security Administration agents discovered a high-powered 84 mm recoilless rifle in a person's checked luggage, according to federal authorities. The weapon appears to be a made by Swedish arms producer Carl Gustaf, they also said. Recoilless rifles are primarily intended for use against tanks and other armored battlefield vehicles.
The military weapon wasn't declared to the airline at check-in, something required for those traveling with firearms in their suitcases, according to a tweet from the TSA’s Southwest Division.
