‘Stop hiding animals’: TSA lists unusual objects people tried to sneak on planes
AI Summary
In 2025, the TSA released a list of unusual items confiscated at US airports, topped by an imitation pipe bomb found in a checked bag in Boise, Idaho, in May. The replica, made of PVC pipes and marked "C4," triggered an alarm but was determined to be a training aid. The traveler abandoned the item. The second most unusual find was turtles being smuggled in clothing at Newark Liberty and Miami international airports. In one instance, a woman attempted to conceal two turtles in her bra, one of which later died. The TSA emphasized that while small pets are allowed, travelers should adhere to airline regulations and avoid hiding animals on their person.
