Guns, Chain Saws Seized from Air Passengers
Thu Aug 28, 8:30 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. airport baggage screeners, displaying seized chain saws, machetes and knives, warned travelers to check their luggage for offensive objects before boarding a flight.

Officials of the Transport Security Administration, speaking ahead of this weekend's Labor Day holiday -- a busy travel time -- said that since February 2002 more than 7.5 million prohibited items had been seized.

They included 50,000 box cutters -- a weapon said to be used by the Sept. 11, 2001 hijackers -- and 1,437 firearms as well as 2.3 million knives.

But some carry more obviously dangerous items. Chain saws, a weed cutting machine, hand saws and machetes, steak knives, bottles of camping stove fuel and perfume bottles shaped like hand grenades were among items displayed as a sample of objects seized at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.

a weed cutting machine, that was mine

or was it weed rolling machine? i cant remember :D

Musta been some good shit ... :D

Yeah, you know, I just FORGOT I happened to have that chain saw with me in my carry-on! Silly me! Thought I'd grabbed a carburetor and hey I must have took that by mistake!

Wow ... who could possibly think to take a box cutter to an airport... after 9/11... but 50,000 people..... are any of them from Oprano?

I can't believe people actually thought they were gonna get half of that shit on a plane!? Chainsaws and weedeaters...c'mon!?

On my trip over for Internext, I did 12 flights in 11 days...that's a LOT of trips thru airport security.

Funniest thing amongst all of the warning signs I saw was one that went something like:

No guns.
No knives.
No bombs.
No jokes.

Yep, even joking has been officially outlawed. :)

What kind of perfume has a bottle shaped like a hand grenade?

I know Jesse Dupree travels with one...

It might have been a perfume bottle that wasn't bought with perfume in it. :)
