TSA officers called airport ****** who found the man and detained him for questioning. The unidentified traveller said he was in the military and coming home from Kuwait. He said he wanted to keep the ****** as a souvenir.
The TSA said the ******* launcher was “not a live device.” But it was handed over to the state **** marshal for disposal.
The man lives in Jacksonville, Texas, which is about 115 miles (185 kilometres) east of Dallas. He was ultimately allowed to catch his flight home.
