A traveler flying out of a Maryland airport packed a missile launcher from Kuwait in his checked bag in the hopes of keeping it as a souvenir, officials said.

Transportation Security Administration agents at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport spotted the inert missile launcher in a Jacksonville, Texas, man’s checked bag early Monday, wrote TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein in a tweet later in the day.

“@TSA officers at @BWI_Airport detected this missile launcher in a checked bag early this morning. Man said he was bringing it back from Kuwait as a souvenir,” Farbstein wrote, along with a photograph of the gray, yellow and black Griffin missile launcher. “Perhaps he should have picked up a keychain instead!”

Police questioned the traveler, who explained he is an active duty military member, and allowed him to catch his connecting flight, according to a TSA press release. The missile launcher was confiscated.
