Officers working for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confiscate prohibited items from passengers daily at airports across the United States. Most of these cases involve travelers carrying harmless objects out of ignorance or negligence, but every once in a while, someone springs a surprise that baffles even the seen-it-all TSA workers. Something similar happened recently at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR).
