“Such items are not permitted in passenger carry-on luggage,” the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said Monday.
A traveler was arrested a few days ago at the Boston International Airport because a sharp metal straw was found in his carry-on luggage.
Arman Achutlan Nair, 26, of Chicago, was arrested Sunday and is facing gun charges.
The so-called “Vampire Straw” looks like ordinary reusable straws. It is a hollow titanium rod – about 25cm long – with a sharp end, used primarily as a straw, but could also be turned into a lethal weapon.
“Such items are not permitted in passenger carry-on luggage,” the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said Monday.
This is a Vampire straw. These items are not allowed in passenger carry-on bags. A passenger found that out yesterday @BostonLogan when @MassStatePolice confiscated the item and eventually arrested the 26-year-old man on a state charge. 🧛🏼♂️🥤🚫 #travelfail pic.twitter.com/8TGQYP93c7
