Top 20 des objets hors du commun trouvés dans les aéroports

Suite aux évènements du 11 septembre 2001, une nouvelle agence a été créée aux Etats-Unis : la Transportation Security Administration. Son job : s'assurer de la sécurité dans les différents moyens de  transports. Seulement, à force de recherches et de fouilles, le TSA a mis la main sur des objets hors du commun. Histoire d'en faire profiter tout le monde, certaines de ces découvertes inédites sont publiées sur le compte Instagram de l'agence. Batarang, veste explosive, momie, ceinture-couteau, kunai, nunchaku, mortier et même stylo-couteau façon James Bond font partie des raretés du métier. Sans plus attendre, il est l'heure pour vous de découvrir les 20 objets les plus originaux que certains n'hésitent pas à emmener en voyage avec eux.

#1 Des Saïs

 

Is this some kind of confangled rotisserie contraption for turkeys? Nope. These are Sai. If you’re a #TeenageMutantTurtle fan, you’ll know the Sai as Raphael’s weapon or choice. If you still have no clue, a Sai is a weapon used for striking, bludgeoning and punctures. Whatever it is you use them for, please know they must be packed in checked baggage. These were discovered in a carry-on bag at Boise (BOI). #TheMoreYouKnow

#2 Une ceinture-couteau

 

With a simple unsnap and pull, this mild mannered belt becomes BELT KNIFE! Clever idea, but a bad idea to wear it through the checkpoint or pack it in your carry-on bag. Concealed weapons can lead to fines and arrest. Please pack items such as this in your checked baggage. This was discovered in a carry-on bag at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW). #TSAGoodCatch

#3 Un stylo-couteau

 

Which is mightier, the pen or the knife? This pen-knife was discovered in a carry-on bag at San Juan (SJU). Concealed knives can lead to fines and arrest.

#4 Un gros gros gros shuriken

 

This 4-bladed throwing star was discovered in a carry-on bag at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). These must be packed in your checked bags. Sorry Prince Colwyn. #Krull

#5 Un tomahawk custom

 

#TSAGoodCatch - This ornate jawbone tomahawk was discovered in a carry-on bag at Salt Lake City (SLC). Jawbone tomahawks (and all other tomahawks) must be packed in checked baggage.

#6 Une balle-couteau

 

#TSAGoodCatch - A Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) passenger opted out of advanced imaging technology screening. While being escorted to private screening for a pat-down search, the passenger removed this bullet shaped knife. This knife could have been packed in checked baggage.

#7 Une griffe de dragon-couteau

 

We’re pretty sure this isn’t a letter opener. A bladed dragon claw perhaps??? Whatever it is, it should be packed in checked baggage. It was discovered in a carry-on bag at Atlanta (ATL).

#8 Une munition de mortier

 

#TSAGoodCatch - Earlier this month, this inert mortar round was discovered in a checked bag at San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Inert/replica items such as this mortar round look real on the X-ray monitor and TSA officers don’t know if they contain explosives until explosives detection professionals, along with law enforcement, inspect it. Safety precautions can cause a closure of the checkpoint/checked bag screening area and lead to missed and delayed flights.

#9 Des couteaux de lancer

 

These happy little throwing knives were discovered in a carry-on bag at San Diego (SAN). All knives, whether happy or sad, are not allowed in carry-on bags. Please place them in your checked baggage.

#10 Une grenade

 

If you plan on gifting a grenade this holiday season, you’ll need to find another way to get it to its destination other than commercial aircraft. All real and inert grenades as well as anything resembling a grenade are prohibited from both carry-on and checked bags. This inert grenade was discovered in a carry-on bag at Richmond (RIC).

#11 Des kunaïs et des couteaux de lancer

 

These throwing stars and knives were discovered in carry-on bag at the John Wayne Airport (SNA). While prohibited in carry-on bags, these may be packed in checked luggage. #TSAGoodCatch #Naruto

#12 La réplique d'une veste explosive

 

#TSATravelTips - Don’t pack your homemade replica suicide vest. The traveler who packed this vest in his checked bag at Richmond (RIC) stated it was a prop intended for use in a live-action role-playing game (LARP). TSA explosives experts raced to the checked baggage room and the airport police were called immediately. Fortunately, the explosives experts determined the vest posed no danger. It has yet to be determined if the officer who searched the bag needed a change of clothing.

#13 Un fléau à 5 lames

 

While some travelers are worried about packing nail clippers (they are allowed), others pack a pair of five-bladed floggers. You guessed it; these are not allowed in carry-on bags. If you’re in a situation where you’re going to need your floggers, they’ll have to be packed in checked baggage. These were discovered last week in a carry-on bag at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas (IAH). #TSATravelTips

#14 Un élément du film Texas Massacre Chainsaw

 

Talk about deadheading... This crusty ol' chap is actually a prop from the #TexasChainsawMassacre movie. He was brought through a checkpoint at the Atlanta (#ATL) International Airport, where as you can see, he was screened and sent on his jolly way. #TSAOnTheJob

#15 Une dague/poing américain custom

 

The eagle perched upon the handle of this knuckleduster knows it should have been packed in a checked bag. All knives are prohibited in carry-on bags. This knuckle knife was discovered in a carry-on bag by an eagle-eyed officer at Newark (EWR). #TSAGoodCatch

#16 Une canne-épée

 

Many canes are passed down or bought in thrift shops and some people truly have no idea their cane is concealing a sword. However, I think it can be assumed that a cane with a talon grip handle has more to it than meets the eye. This sword cane was discovered in a traveler’s carry-on property at Bradley (BDL). #TSAGoodCatch

#17 Une machette 

 

We’ve heard (from a friend) that machetes are not only good for divvying up a turkey, but they’re also a great way to split your stubborn sweet potatoes before they’re cooked. If you’re traveling with your trusty machete, be sure to pack it in your checked baggage (the bags that go in the belly of the aircraft).This one was discovered in carry-on bag at San Diego. #ThanksgivingTravel

#18 Un masque à gaz un peu spécial

 

Packing list: Socks. ✅ Toothbrush. ✅ Curling Iron. ✅ Post-apocalyptic bullet-adorned gas mask. ❌ While gas masks are allowed in carry-on bags, replica bullets are not. This was discovered in a carry-on bag at Miami (MIA). Maybe he was catching a one way flight to #FuryRoad?

#19 Un obus

 

#TSAGoodCatch - This inert artillery round was discovered in a checked bag last week at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). Three flights were delayed for more than two hours while explosives specialists determined whether the round was live or not.

#20 Des batarangs

 

Three #batarangs were discovered in a carry-on bag at the Charlottesville–Albemarle Airport (CHO). It'd be funny if it weren't so pathetic... Oh, what the heck. We’ll laugh anyway!
