Where else are you gonna find a bag of eels, really?
1. Sometimes people do the darndest things. Like, say, try to smuggle 92 pounds of marijuana through the airport security line.
2. Thankfully, the TSA has an informative/hilarious Instagram page that captures some of the best things recovered in security searches.
Like this medieval ball and chain.
3. Their Insta chronicles typical confiscated items, like handguns.
This one was loaded.
4. To the truly bizarre.
Fun fact: Anything that resembles a hand grenade is gonna get confiscated.
5. Oh sure, take your bag of eels across state lines.
According to the TSA, “the passenger was attempting to transport 163 marine tropical fish and 22 invertebrates” into Venezuela.
6. Or your pantyhose filled with tiny snakes.
Yes, that’s an actual thing someone tried to smuggle through a security checkpoint.
14. Some people use ~creative~ means of trying to smuggle weapons through — like stuffed animals.
18. Important rule: You may check your sword in your luggage but you can’t put it in your carry-on.
