Batman ninja stars. Jawbone tomahawks. Oversized liquor bottles filled with dead seahorses. The Transportation Security Administration stops a wide array of strange, exotic and sometimes deadly items from coming onto airplanes.

Now we can add 3-D printed guns to the list.

The TSA says a plastic revolver assembled with a 3-D printer was among the 68 firearms the agency confiscated from carry-ons around the country during the week ending Aug. 5.

TSA agents discovered the weapon in a passenger's luggage during screening at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. The gun was a replica, but was loaded with five live .22-caliber bullets, the agency said.

Always thought they were too busy strip searching Veterans to find any real threat. Had to be the bullets, as their just too stupid.

Good to hear they confiscated it to keep all the toenail clippers and shampoo bottles company.
