TSA Discovers Bullets Hidden in Diaper at LaGuardia Airport

TSA agents at LaGuardia Airport in New York City discovered 17 bullets "artfully concealed" in a disposable diaper that a man was attempting to bring on a plane. The man initially claimed he didn't know how the diaper ended up in his bag, but later said his girlfriend must have placed it there. The man was cited for unlawful possession of ammunition, and it is unclear if he had a weapon or was traveling with others. The incident highlights the routine discovery of unusual items at airport security checkpoints, including inert grenades, cattle prods, and a hair scrunchie filled with drugs.
