Transportation Security Administration officers at LaGuardia Airport last week removed a diaper from a man’s carry-on bag when it triggered an alarm in the security checkpoint X-ray unit.
TSA officers discovered 17 bullets that had been artfully concealed inside the otherwise clean, yet bizarrely employed infant undergarment.
The passenger, a resident of Arkansas, first told officials that he did not know how the bullet-filled diaper came to be in his bag. He later posited that his girlfriend must have put it in his bag.
TSA officers notified the Port Authority Police, who cited the traveler with unlawful possession of the 9mm ammunition.
