A supervisory officer and an explosives specialist searched the luggage and turned up the two devices, one of them wedged into a full peanut butter jar. \u201cAfter all contents were removed from the bag, I thought, \u2018Weren\u2019t there two grenades in this bag?&#8217;\u201d explosives specialist Michael Dunphy, an 18-year TSA veteran and former Navy explosive ordnance disposal technician, said in the release.<\/p>\n<p>Indianapolis Airport Authority Police verified that the grenades were live and pulled the passenger aside for questioning, WRTV reported. Officers had paged him back to his airline\u2019s ticket counter after the discovery.

The agency bars smoke grenades from both checked and carry-on luggage because cabin pressure changes can set them off mid-flight, NewsNation reported. \u201cAlthough you may not have intentions for something to occur, carrying prohibited items always has the potential for unintentionally causing harm,\u201d Batt said. \u201cImagine in this case, had the pressurization caused the device to accidentally release smoke filling the cabin and aircraft while in flight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Dunphy, who said he had never come across live smoke grenades in a bag before, the episode ranked as his \u201cmost memorable call over the last few years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/hometransferguide.com\/?p=2848\">Companies Find Out AI Robots Can\u2019t Replace All Humans Just Yet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/10519169\/dailycaller_incontent_3 --> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TSA officers at Indianapolis International caught a traveler who allegedly hid two live smoke grenades in checked luggage, one inside a peanut butter jar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2853,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[566,6,2939,2940],"class_list":["post-2854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-airport","tag-grenade","tag-indianapolis","tag-tsa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
