Marijuana-filled diaper and Naruto throwing knives among items passengers tried to sneak onto planes in 2023
An explosive hidden inside an energy drink can and a knife inside a prosthetic foot were two of the most bizarre items Transportation Security Administration officials discovered last year.
An explosive hidden inside an energy drink can and a knife inside a prosthetic foot were two of the most bizarre items Transportation Security Administration officials discovered last year.
Each year, the agency releases its annual list of the top 10 "best catches."
It started doing so in 2016, when it included a full-size movie prop corpse, a Hello Kitty pistol and a golden hand grenade.
No. 2 on last year's list was marijuana concealed in an adult diaper. It was discovered because a checkpoint scanner at LaGuardia Airport in New York was alarmed about a woman's groin, TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said.
"The woman had stashed pot in her adult diaper in an effort to conceal the marijuana from TSA and from her traveling companion—her mom!" Farbstein said in a statement Tuesday. "She told officials that she didn’t want her mother to find out that she was packing the pot."
