A week in the life of the TSA is already ridiculously productive. What about seven months? The TSA published a 2012 year to date report to reveal what the apocalypse year has brought through airport security and it's a doozy of bizarre weapons. Things like guns and bombs aren't enough anymore, the TSA finds grenade launchers, venomous snakes, gassed up chainsaws and more.


It's really shocking what the travelling idiots of the world carry around with them in their carry-on luggage. From January to July 2012, the TSA found 821 guns (691 loaded with 210 locked and loaded) in carry-on luggage at 160 different airports. That's four firearms on a typical day! People were getting creative too, do you remember the disassembled guns hidden in stuffed animals?


But honestly, guns are the boring, run-of-the-mill stuff. Here's a list of the crazy (not all of 'em are dangerous):

live 40mm high explosive grenade

a bottle wrapped in black electrical tape and filled with flash powder

an explosively-viable cannonball

a live blasting cap.

M147 firing device with blasting cap taped to it

training claymore mines

warheads

60mm mortar round

a bazooka round

bear mace in a sock

a knife mounted on a walker

a spear gun

a gun in a hollowed out book

eels

dead venomous snakes

a gassed up chainsaw

a grenade launcher

a chastity belt

Of course, there's more. A hell of a lot more. People, stop being crazy, please. [TSA]
