The Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) recently made it into the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) annual Top 10 List of most unusual items found at security checkpoints in 2022.
TSA officers at Dulles Airport detected two electric cattle prods packed alongside a guitar inside a carry-on guitar case in September 2022.
The TSA stated in a press release on December 30, 2022, it would have had no issue had the items been packed in a checked bag, but passengers certainly cannot carry an electric cattle prod into an aircraft cabin.
