Meat cleaver in carry-on triggers security pause on Delta flight from Portland
A newly released video shows a passenger with a meat cleaver in a shopping bag passing TSA screening and boarding a Delta flight to Salt Lake City. After a flight attendant spotted the weapon, the captain announced a security issue, all passengers deboarded for re-screening, and the flight was delayed about three hours; the passenger later told authorities he bought the cleaver cheaply and was not charged, subsequently catching another flight.
