This collection of items Seized from air passengers by the TSA will make your day

Can you tell what snakes, ninja shurikens, eels and grenades have in common? It's simple — all this is periodically seized from passengers of flights by employees of the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It's hard to believe that one of the people came up with the idea to take things on board the plane, pictures of which are posted on TSA Instagram, but it's all true.

Employees of the press center of the Transport Security Administration have been maintaining their service account on Instagram for a long time and there is something to see there. Despite the fact that lists of prohibited items at airports are everywhere, attempts to bring an axe, a chainsaw or a Japanese sword on board the liner do not stop.

Some things are obviously dangerous, others are carefully disguised as the most harmless objects. But you can't fool the TSA specialists — they were entrusted with flight safety for a reason.

Even the slightest hint that the device can be used as a weapon will lead to its withdrawal. A good example is this brass knuckles umbrella.

If you think you've already seen the strangest things, then here are some scissors from a guy's travel bag.

There are real weapons antiques.

And quite modern combat weapons.

Brass knuckles? A grenade? A lighter? You can't take all three things on board!

Pets, and not always furry, are also trying to smuggle secretly.

Strange baggage, isn't it?

More than strange.

Against the background of the previous gizmos, this one looks almost safe, but it was also withdrawn. You never know what…
