The AP reports that
an 80-year-old South Carolina woman had no idea her cane contained a sword until she attempted to board a plane and it was inspected by TSA staff.
News outlets report that Transportation Security Administration regional
spokesman Mark Howell recounted the incident Thursday at Myrtle Beach
International Airport as part of an effort to highlight examples of
dangerous items recently carried by passengers departing the airport.
Howell told reporters secret swords are not actually that uncommon a
discovery for TSA screeners since people sometimes buy the canes at
thrift stores without realizing there's a sword inside.
