What do grenades, eels, snakes, and ninja throwing stars all have in common? That’s right, you guessed it! They’re all things that passengers tried to bring on the plane with them, only to have them confiscated by Transportation Security Administration employees.
A fun fact that you probably didn’t know about the TSA is that it uploads lots of photos of the strange items its employees confiscated onto its Instagram account. A surprising amount of people think that it’s alright to smuggle in prohibited items like explosives (such as home-made bombs meant to literally cause avalanches) and weapons (like axes, cleavers, and even… keyblades).
We’ve collected some of the weirdest items that the TSA took away from passengers for your enjoyment. So scroll down, upvote your faves, drop us a comment below, and remember to follow the rules about what you can and most definitely cannot bring on a plane. After all, we wouldn’t want anything similar to Snakes on a Plane to repeat itself in real life, would we?

This Image Is An Inert Replica Of A Laptop Bomb. What Looks Like Cereal In The Baggie Is Actually Inert Dynamite Flakes

Now this one is out of comparison with most other entries here. This is scary stuff, and this is why airport security (if done correctly) has its right of existance.

I think it's saying that this is just a replica that they use for training purposes. Note that they said the dynamite is inert.

Just to clarify, this is not a passenger trying to bring this on the plane. This is a security company testing the TSA's security measures, which is done regularly. In order to see is the TSA'a measures are working, they have to test it and see where the "holes" are.

Its odd reading people being glad for TSA and other similar airport security. Many news and independent agencies have discover that they have a outstanding 90 percent fail rate ad discovering actual dangerous items while confiscating your pin because it has a picture of a gun on it. Security theater is all they are. Just like signing your receipt or debit purchase.

It's a training aid for the TSA, not an actual bomb. They've actually never stopped a terrorist incident yet in their history.

To be honest--there is a cute story that occurred a few months ago where a cat did indeed accidentally sneak inside a couple's suitcase. https://www.boredpanda.com/couple-accidentally-packs-pet-cat-stopped-at-airport/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic In that case, everything turned out fine, and it was a cute and funny story. Just by reading the caption on this one though, you can't actually tell that Slim was purposely packed inside though. I was hoping it was another innocent accident myself until I looked up Slim's story on the internet to check. I'm glad she's safe and okay.

They might not have noticed if the cheapskate had bought a bigger bunch. Just saying.
Most of us have stories about how we or someone close to us saw weird things going on at the airport. That includes emotional support pets like ducks or ponies. And incredibly awkward situations involving mistaken identities that accidentally lead to long-term relationships.
There’s something about the idea of flying that makes people lose their common sense and have their heads up in the clouds. The worst part? It’s not isolated to the stuff people pack.

Here Are Proper Ways Do Declare Firearms And Ammunition, And Then There’s Stuffing Everything In Bicycle Tires

Illegal guns and gun smuggling aside, considering the fact that you can take your legal guns on your flight—-as checked baggage only—-as long as you declare them to the airlines, they’re properly registered, they’re unloaded, and they and their ammunition are packed in the proper secure cases, it’s mind-boggling that people think they have to hide them like this (ex-TSA employee here).

While another time, a plane had to turn around and head back to the airport because someone took a very, very smelly poo. I’d love to be joking right now. But this is serious.
According to the BBC, the captain of the plane actually made an announcement about the “pungent smell” due to the “liquid fecal excrement” in the toilet. The plane turned around after 30 minutes of flying and headed back to the airport. The next available flight was 15 hours later.

This Knuckle Umbrella Was No Match For Our Officers

That is not a weapon, some of these umbrellas are designed for people with difficulties to grab or grasp things, you can see the soft textile used for comfort in the pic.

Anyone who complains about having to wait in line while TSA agents check carry-on bags should look at these photos!

I see a lot of these as collectibles, antiques or parts of costumes for Comicon style conventions. I can understand that some people don't trust them in the luggage compartment or worry about them being stolen by baggage handlers, but there are other ways of getting them to your destination without violating air travel guidelines.

I dunno which I'd be sadder about losing, the knife or the enchilada.

TSA failed 98% of their own internal security test/checks. I had a 3 inch knife in the side pocket of my carry on back-pack. I'd forgotten it was there from a camping trip. I flew across the country and back, going through TSA security twice and all they did was take my cardboard tube of Pringles chips and swab it for explosive chemicals.... they found none.

The live animal ones and some of the weapons ones disturbed me the most. With some of the weapons, I can see how some of them are antiques or something like that, but as for the rest..... scary af. And the live animals... I hate animal abusers with a burning passion, I'm not going to get started, but those people who tried to smuggle in animals by tossing them in suitcases need to go to prison for a long time
