TSA Issues Reminder To Leave Your Artillery At Home

O'Hare International Airport, Chicago Two travelers reported as minors got in hot water with law enforcement when they attempted to check in luggage containing military artillery shells. The two were reportedly traveling back from a field trip to London.

After finding the munitions in the baggage, the TSA officials contacted the FBI and the Chicago police department. The teens told law enforcement that they found the shells at a old artillery range while traveling. The rounds were identified as French 77MM artillery shells.

The two were allowed to continue with their travels and have not been charged at this time.
