El Presidente Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Walk through an airport here with that and I would be tasered before being humped to within an inch of my life but the airport security beagles. Homemade cigar humidor mistaken for pipe bomb at LaGuardia Airport TSA gate ByDesire Paul NOV 9, 2020 A man was stopped from boarding a plane at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport when his homemade cigar humidor was mistaken for a pipe bomb. Transportation Security Administration screeners found the suspicious device in the man’s carry-on bag Sunday afternoon. The bag contained two torch-style lighters along with a homemade container made out of 9-inch PVC pipe and end caps, which resembled a pipe bomb, according to the TSA. However, when an end cap was removed, a partially smoked cigar was discovered inside. This item, which was originally believed to be a pipe bomb in a traveler’s carry-on bag, turned out to be a homemade cigar humidor. (Transportation Security Administration) TSA SCREENS 984K PASSENGERS SUNDAY, HIGHEST NUMBER SINCE APRIL The man from Hopewell Junction, N.Y., told officials that he had crafted the item to serve as a homemade humidor for his cigars. TSA said the traveler surrendered the item for disposal along with the torch-style lighters after he was he wouldn’t be allowed on the plane with it. “Our TSA officers are vigilant about looking for explosive devices, and this certainly gave the impression that it could be a pipe bomb that someone was attempting to carry onto an aircraft,” said Robert Duffy, TSA’s federal security director for LaGuardia Airport. “Fortunately it turned out not to be an explosive device, but had he pulled it out during his flight, it could have caused a panic.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP “Replica weapons are not permitted on aircraft and this easily could have passed for an improvised explosive device. It was a good catch on the part of the officers who were staffing the checkpoint,” Duffy said. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is even more staggering than the mostly smoked cigar in the tube is that he did not even bother to use new pipe. Lord knows what that pipe was before its life as a travel humidor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 to be honest, i am seriously wondering if there was something far more nefarious going on here. i am thinking a half smoked horror (seriously, you would save about two dollars by retaining it) and the filthy tube. no one half serious about cigars would do either. and only someone half serious about cigars would make a travelling humidor like that. so i am thinking perhaps there was a lot more to this. if i was the relevant authorities, i'd be investigating (perhaps there were others on the flight with other parts that looked innocent until combined?). or perhaps i have watched too many episodes of 24 and such shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can fit 5 kilos of heroin in your prison purse, you deserve to get that through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
