OK...This is just getting funny. Are they giving these things away?
Transportation Security agents aren’t having a blast this week at a Baltimore airport — thankfully.
Three days after the TSA discovered a rocket launcher at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, a second one was found inside a passenger’s checked bag early Thursday morning.
Nearby officials in the American Airlines baggage area located the non-operable equipment before alerting the Maryland Fire Marshal’s Bomb Squad, reported Travel Pulse.
Officers confiscated the weapon before returning it to its owner, an unidentified Air Force sergeant.
After agents located the man, he claimed the weapon contained no explosive materials and had previously been inspected by military officials.
But the item was confiscated because it potentially contained pressurized gas and was banned on the soldier’s connecting commercial flight.
On Monday, TSA agents found a missile launcher in the checked bag of a military veteran who was bringing his weapon home from Kuwait as a souvenir.
Second rocket launcher confiscated at Baltimore airport within three days
