Here are some mind-blowing things people tried to bring on a plane:

10: Bullets in deodorant

That’s right. Bullets in deodorant were found at Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey.

“This passenger must have been sweating bullets,” TSA said.

9: Pistol

Time to bring out the big guns. A pistol was found at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.

“Is your one short worth... a mug shot?” TSA said.

8: Meth burrito

We wish we were joking. A meth burrito was discovered at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas.

“You can’t speed your way through security with this one,” TSA said.

7: Firearm buckle

Is it a gun? Is it a belt buckle? Oh, it’s both.

A firearm buckle was picked up by TSA at Honolulu International Airport in Hawaii.

“How’s our list holding up so far? Better than this passenger’s pants, hopefully,” TSA said.

6: Cleaver

What is this? A meat shop?

This cleaver was found at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania.

“Not a cleaver idea to bring this through security,” TSA said.

5: Bear spray

This is BS. Yep, 100% bear spray. It was found at Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport in Florida.

“Is definitely not a bear necessity for your flight,” TSA said.

“Talk about a dull idea,” TSA said.

3: Fireworks

This was an explosive idea that looks like it backfired.

A number of fireworks were found by TSA at Syracuse Hancock International in New York.

“Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know... this is a no-no,” TSA said.

2: Wine Holder

This just looks like a bad idea. This wine holder was found at Sacramento International Airport in California.

“Please don’t make pour decisions like this passenger,” TSA said.
