- Inert Ordnance and Grenades etc
- Three replica grenades were discovered this week. Two were grenade-shaped cologne bottles discovered in carry-on bags at Denver (DEN) and Tampa (TPA). The third was a hot sauce container designed to look like a flash-bang grenade. It was discovered in a carry-on bag at Chicago O’Hare (ORD).

- A live smoke grenade was discovered in a checked bag at Las Vegas (LAS).
- Artfully Concealed Prohibited Items
- A four-inch belt buckle knife was discovered in a carry-on bag at New York Kennedy (JFK).

*looks like the TSA isn't doing a good job of protecting the privacy of the traveler in question as there's enough information visible to identify them
