It was a loaded diaper, but not like you would think.

Security officers found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby diaper Wednesday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.

Officers pulled the otherwise clean diaper from a passenger’s carry-on bag after it triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said.

    He said he suspected his gf did it…

    Like, why just bring bullets but no gun?

    That’s something entirely nonsensical even for an idiot that tries to smuggle a gun onto a plane.

    But, if someone wanted to fuck another person over for any number of reasons…

    Hiding some bullets in their carry on would do the trick.

      Who knows, maybe it’s just my gf doesn’t have a bunch of bullets in her pockets to shove in a bag while I’m not looking.
      Whether it’s him or her, that household kinda has an issue with safe firearm/ammo storage and handling.

      I used to run a CNC laser. It would cut 2-d shapes out of metal up to 19mm thick.

      We had a supervisor who was going on a trip once, and we joked about cutting out the silhouette of a handgun and sewing it into the lining of a carryon bag. We didn’t do it, but I could see a stunt like that causing problems.

      It looks like they came from two different boxes too. Like she wanted to include both in case one didn’t get detected as easily.
