Image from the tsa Instagram account with the following caption: 🎵 Picture this, we caught a passenger red-handed, creeping through security. 🎵

“We found this in your luggage.”
Passenger: It wasn’t me.
“We saw the markings in the lining!”
Passenger: It wasn’t me.
“And we even caught you on camera!”
Passenger: It wasn’t me.

To be a true traveler, you’ve gotta know how to fly, and, well, you can’t fly with firearms, replica firearms, or an air gun like this in your carry-on. Our officers didn’t have to look too hard to spot this concealed weapon, found this past weekend at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL).

Here’s another tip: Double check your carry-on bags for prohibited items before leaving for your local airport. You’ll save yourself (and those in line behind you) a lot of time during this super busy travel season.

As always, if you have any travel questions, you can message or tweet our #AskTSA team. They’re available 7 days a week to help!
