BOSTON — A passenger at Logan Airport was stopped by Transportation Security Administration agents after being caught with a bag full of contraband.
The passenger was attempting to board a plane when agents flagged their bag and found a flare, three throwing knives, a torch lighter, two magnesium fire starters, and a paracord tactical knife bracelet, according to TSA New England spokesman Dan Velez.
In a tweet, Velez wrote, “Heck of a catch!” with the hashtag “travel fail.”
It’s not clear if the passenger will face charges.
