It was a loaded diaper, but not like you would think.

Security officers found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby diaper Wednesday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.

Officers pulled the otherwise clean diaper from a passenger’s carry-on bag after it triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said.

      The dumb thing is this wasn’t even a gun, just bullets. Bullets are easy and legal to buy so why smuggle them?

        Plausibly similar to people who have built bombs out of stuff that wouldn’t normally be suspicious to airport security

        It reminds me of the person who built a bomb in a airplane toilet with a casio watch and some other things
