A passenger may have had superhero aspirations, but their luggage didn’t make it through security after Transportation Security Administration officers found claws inside a bag.
The TSA said the devices “looked like something out of a superhero-versus-horror movie crossover.”
Officer Douglas Linn was X-raying bags at Seattle-Tacoma Airport when he saw something that needed extra screening.
“I saw three blades and distinct claw-like features,” Linn said in a news release. “I was amazed, and even more so when it came out of the bag. I have never seen anything like this during my two years at TSA.”
They looked like a mix of Wolverine and Freddy Krueger claws.
The TSA said, “No nightmare on Lane 5, just solid screening and teamwork.”
The passenger voluntarily abandoned them at the TSA checkpoint.
