Washington Dulles International Airport made it onto the Transportation Security Administration’s annual top 10 list of the most unusual items found at security checkpoints nationwide in 2022.
In September, TSA officers at Dulles Airport discovered two electric cattle prods packed alongside a guitar inside a carry-on guitar case. It ranked #8 on the top 10 list.
TSA said it would have had “no issue” if the items were in a checked bag, but passengers cannot bring such an item in carry-on luggage.
Additionally, another single cattle prod was detected in a carry-on bag at Dulles in May.
Among other items on the list were a firearm in a hollowed out peanut butter jar, a knife in a laptop and fentanyl inside repackaged candy wrappers.
For passengers who are not sure what they can and cannot bring in a carry-on luggage through a security checkpoint, visit TSA’s website for rules and regulations or tweet @AskTSA.
