Well, not really a missile launcher, but an inert part of one. Still, this fellow isn’t the brightest bulb in the chandelier for packing such a thing. From the article: <\/p>\n
Federal officials say they’ve found a missile launcher in a man’s luggage at the airport in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement that the military grade weapon was located in the man’s checked luggage at Baltimore\/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.<\/p>\n
TSA officers called airport police who found the man and detained him for questioning. The unidentified traveler said he was in the military and coming home from Kuwait. He said he wanted to keep the weapon as a souvenir.<\/p>\n
The TSA said the missile launcher was “not a live device.” But it was handed over to the state fire marshal for disposal.<\/p>\n
The man lives in Jacksonville, Texas, which is about 115 miles east of Dallas. He was ultimately allowed to catch his flight home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Glad the TSA was able to protect the flying public from what essentially is an olive drab tube with scary military markings. One wonders how much cash he could have received if he was able to visit a gun buy-back program with the thing. <\/p>\n
