The Weirdest Contraband The TSA Confiscated In 2016

So what’s the big deal if it’s inert?

This inert 25mm round was discovered recently in a checked bag at Sonoma (STS). So what’s the big deal if it’s inert? First off, we don’t know it’s inert until explosives professionals take a closer look, and that takes time and slows down the line. It can even lead to a complete shutdown and evacuation. Anything resembling a bomb, mine, round or grenade is prohibited from both carry-on and checked bags. #TSAGoodCatch
