Las armas más alucinantes decomisadas en los aeropuertos de EE.UU — Estos Batarang (arma de Batman) fueron decomisadas en el aeropuerto de Dallas. | **Fuente:** TSA

No es ninguna novedad que los ciudadanos en los Estados Unidos compren armas de todo calibre para su seguridad. Lo que sí resulta extraño es que compren hasta granadas de guerra o sables y los traten de pasar los controles de los aeropuertos.

Así lo dio a conocer la Administración de Seguridad en el Transporte (TSA por sus siglas en inglés) en su cuenta de Instagram al mostrar numerosas y curiosas armas letales de todos los tamaños y formas, incluso Batarangs (y no fue precisamente Batman quien lo portaba).

This pint-sized revolver was discovered in a carry-on bag at the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). … While firearms are prohibited in carry-on bags, you can pack them in your checked baggage as long as you meet the packing guidelines: bit.ly/travelingwithfirearms … As a refresher, carry-on bags go into the cabin of the plane with you. Checked bags go into the cargo hold of the plane where passengers have no access. … When firearms are discovered at the checkpoint, we contact law enforcement and they decide what happens based on background checks, interviews and local laws. … A firearm at the checkpoint could lead to fines, arrests, missed flights or all of the above. As far as what happens to confiscated firearms, that's up to each local police department.

#CaptionThis ... While there was nothing hidden inside the replica .50 caliber bullet, there was a sword concealed within the cane. ... Both swords and replica bullets are not allowed in carry-on bags or on your person. They may be packed in checked luggage. ... Concealed swords such as this one can lead to fines and arrest. This was discovered with a traveler’s carry-on items at Chattanooga (CHA).

We know some of you have some Turkey carving in your near future, but please pack your carvin’ implements in your checked bag. These were discovered (from the top) in carry-on bags at MEM, ABQ and OAK. Happy Thanksgiving! #Thanksgiving2017

This Tampa (TPA) traveler may or may not have had a meeting with an unpardoned Turkey. Or perhaps he just had an axe to grind? Either way, please pack all axes and hatchets in your checked baggage. Have a great holiday! #Thanksgiving2017

Somebody must have been reading our permitted and prohibited items list on #OppositeDay. These were all discovered in one traveler’s carry-on bag at the Dulles International Airport (IAD).

We see some interesting knives at our checkpoints. #Understatement We know you need to be on the lookout for Orcs and such, but knives are not allowed in the cabin of the aircraft. They must be packed in checked bags. Clockwise from the top left, these were discovered at BNA, DEN, HNL and SJC.

Most travelers stuff socks in their shoes. This Milwaukee (MKE) traveler chose inert grenades. Items such as these can lead to evacuations and delays while explosives professionals try to figure out what they are. Please don’t pack grenades.

Please don’t axe us what purpose this serves. We don’t know… We do know that it’s not allowed in carry-on bags. If you find yourself traveling with an axe-gun thingamabob, please pack it in your checked baggage. This was discovered in a carry-on bag at Fargo (FAR).

Just as Batman had to lecture Boy Wonder about fastening his bat-belt, we find ourselves once again reminding readers that Batarangs are not allowed in carry-on bags. These were discovered in a carry-on bag at the Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL). #BOOM #CLASH #KABAM

This weapon will not only help you defend yourself against Orcs, but it also allows you to butter two slices of toast at the same time! This one was discovered in a carry-on bag at Chicago Midway (MDW). Please pack items such as this in your checked bags.

A Newark (EWR) traveler attempted to take their hoe on the plane. If you need to travel with your gardening hoe, it’ll have to go in your checked bag.
