TSA workers at La Guardia airport in New York City found two pipes in a passenger’s bag so they removed them. Although they were determined to not be dangerous, the pipes were confiscated anyway and the TSA tossed them in a nearby bin that the TSA uses at their checkpoints. Everyone forgets the pipes are even in the bin.
Six hours later, a new shift comes on to work. This shift of TSA workers freaks out because no one knows how these pipes got in the bin, so the TSA workers call the police bomb squad out of “abundance of caution.” This “abundance of caution” does not apply to passengers because, at no point in time is the airport evacuated and no portion of the airport closed while the bomb squad investigates.
So, just what were those pipes?
Several law enforcement sources told CNN the objects were determined to be homeopathic medical devices.
