Airport workers who thought they had found a gun in a passenger’s bag discovered it was in fact a decorative toilet roll holder.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents took a closer look at the bag after spotting something suspicious as it passed through the X-ray machine at Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey.
Because travellers are not allowed to take replica guns through airport security, the customer was given the choice of putting it into a checked bag or turning it over to the TSA.
According to the agency, he chose the latter.
