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.
If anything, it just confirms how irresponsible they are.
He said he suspected his gf did it…
Like, why just bring bullets but no gun?
That’s something entirely nonsensical even for an idiot that tries to smuggle a gun onto a plane.
But, if someone wanted to fuck another person over for any number of reasons…
Hiding some bullets in their carry on would do the trick.
Who knows, maybe it’s just my gf doesn’t have a bunch of bullets in her pockets to shove in a bag while I’m not looking.
Whether it’s him or her, that household kinda has an issue with safe firearm/ammo storage and handling.
Back in the early 80’s my sister was planning to travel with her infant son to get some time away from her husband (abusive addict when he’d relapse - real life Jekyll/Hyde.) She was waiting to board a plane in Chicago when several police pulled her, stating they’d gotten a call that she was carrying a bomb. All she had was a diaper bag with baby things, her purse, and saltines as she’d developed an ulcer.
They let her go once they realized what the situation was, but manipulative people can really create nightmares.
And who knows.
Maybe this guy is an abusive asshole, and this is the gfs way of getting rid of him.
Maybe she’s abusive and he was running from her.
But it’s just a more believable situation that she planted it than someone really being dumb enough to try and smuggle less than $20 of bullets but not a gun.
I used to run a CNC laser. It would cut 2-d shapes out of metal up to 19mm thick.
We had a supervisor who was going on a trip once, and we joked about cutting out the silhouette of a handgun and sewing it into the lining of a carryon bag. We didn’t do it, but I could see a stunt like that causing problems.
It looks like they came from two different boxes too. Like she wanted to include both in case one didn’t get detected as easily.
