It was a loaded diaper, but not like you would think.
Security officers found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby diaper Wednesday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.
Officers pulled the otherwise clean diaper from a passenger’s carry-on bag after it triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said.
Back in the early 80’s my sister was planning to travel with her infant son to get some time away from her husband (abusive addict when he’d relapse - real life Jekyll/Hyde.) She was waiting to board a plane in Chicago when several police pulled her, stating they’d gotten a call that she was carrying a bomb. All she had was a diaper bag with baby things, her purse, and saltines as she’d developed an ulcer.
They let her go once they realized what the situation was, but manipulative people can really create nightmares.
And who knows.
Maybe this guy is an abusive asshole, and this is the gfs way of getting rid of him.
Maybe she’s abusive and he was running from her.
But it’s just a more believable situation that she planted it than someone really being dumb enough to try and smuggle less than $20 of bullets but not a gun.
