New Jersey Woman Attempts To Check Land Mines On Flight To SFO

New Jersey Woman Attempts To Check Land Mines On Flight To SFO

A woman flying from Newark to San Francisco International Airport this morning apparently thought it would be an acceptable idea to stow some Claymore land mines packed with shrapnel in her checked luggage.

The woman told authorities she was bringing the military-grade anti-personnel explosive devices to an "explosives demonstration". The land mines were confiscated by the TSA, but the woman was allowed to fly on a later flight to San Francisco.

Since the woman didn't end up in Guantanamo Bay, we can only assume that means she is either a member of a law enforcement agency or she had a cameo spot on an upcoming episode of Mythbusters. Just as long as she didn't mean this kind of demonstration.
