After a look at the Transportation Security Administration’s 10 most unusual checkpoint finds of 2016, you’d be hard pressed to understand why anyone would own any of these items—let alone try to carry them on a plane.
From fake hand grenades to a fake corpse, the TSA’s social media team is clearly having a lot of fun showing off some of the strangest, scariest, and funniest finds that officers have made across the country—often packaged with helpful travel tips to boot.
A special shout-out is in order for Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which is the world’s busiest airport and site of three of this year’s top 10 confiscations.
And though it should go without being said: You are discouraged from attempting to fly with any of this contraband.
