Transportation Security Administration released the top 10 list of unexpected items found throughout the year with New Jersey making the roster.
The TSA at Newark Liberty International Airport showed off their lost and found on Monday. Their program aims to reunite travelers with their lost items. Keys, passports, glasses, hats, scarves, belts, phones, and even driver's licenses were all left behind.
The bizarre sighting landed the New Jersey airport in the No. 8 slot on the agency’s Top 10 list of most unusual finds at checkpoints last year.
A stack of laptops, numerous teddy bears, and a Rolex are waiting to be claimed by their owners. In the rush to board a plane, travelers lose all kinds of items. The Transportation Security Administration works to reunite them after the detour at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Newark Liberty Airport set a record for the New York City region in 2024 for the number of people who either tried to sneak a firearm past screeners or forgot they had it in their carry on bag, Transportation Security Administration officials said.
The TSA said a gun frame had been jammed in the bottom of a boot, below a sock that was stuffed in behind it in an effort to conceal the weapon. The rest of the handgun — the slide, spring and gun magazine loaded with 12 bullets — was detected among plastic building blocks inside a Black Panther LEGO set.
I guess bragging rights are in order for Newark Liberty International Airport. The New Jersey airport made it onto (TSA) Transportation Security Administration’s Top 10 Best Catches of 2024.
