WPBN: There were many knives and fireworks among the forbidden items that were found in the carry-on luggage of a woman who was going to Philadelphia from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) last week.
It took place at approximately ten o’clock at night on December 15 in Terminal 4 of the airport.
A Transportation Security Administration officer highlighted the woman’s luggage as she attempted to pass through a security checkpoint. The officer had noticed anything unusual in the X-ray of the woman’s bag.
A can of pepper spray, three pocket knives, and a package of firecrackers were found contained within the bag when it was placed aside and examined by law enforcement personnel. In addition to that, there were two keychains in the shape of pistols and a pair of scissors for thread.
It was a prime illustration of all the items that travelers should not bring when flying through the nation’s airports, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which described the discovery as “shocking,” even to its most seasoned LAX officer.
“The sheer number of prohibited items discovered in a single carry-on bag is extremely concerning,” LAX TSA Federal Security Director Jason Pantages stated. “This traveler should have followed TSA’s tried and true advice – unpack your bag before you pack it to ensure you don’t bring any prohibited items to the security checkpoint.”
