AMERICA’S TRANSPORTATION Security Administration maintains weekly records of the items confiscated by its staff at airport checkpoints across the US.
In the past week alone, the TSA found four throwing knives hidden in bag lining, a sword concealed in a walking cane, and four knives tucked into belt buckles.
On top of that, 28 loaded (and two unloaded) guns were found in passengers’ hand luggage – and 13 stun guns.

It would be interesting to know if these people were actually going to try something on board or are they just very stupidly trying to sneak something thru security for some other purpose. If its the former, I’m shitting myself thinking that it happens so frequently!
I wonder if they are carrying them on board for their OWN safety, in case the plane MIGHT be taken over by terrorists?
Shouldn’t you link to the TSAs’ blog seems as that’s where the images/story are from?
Ah more American bashing
