Hawaii authorities have reported a 41-year-old tourist from Japan was arrested after TSA agents discovered two grenades inside the tourist’s carry-on luggage.

Hawaii News Now reported that Alito Fukushima of Japan was arrested for first-degree terroristic threatening.

TSA made the discovery of the grenades on Tuesday morning after an x-ray screening revealed two items that resembled grenades inside his carry-on.

Agents then contacted the Hawaii Police Department, who sent their bomb squad team to investigate.

During the investigation, authorities issued an evacuation of the airport as an act of caution.

After investigating the grenades, the bomb squad concluded the grenade was inert and did not pose a threat.

Two inert grenades were discovered in a passenger’s carry-on luggage by TSA agents at Hawaii’s Hilo International Airport causing the airport to be briefly evacuated. https://t.co/K7E6yDIZZx pic.twitter.com/L6Qd6qTkPl

Rather coincidental. How many got through without being spotted?

“Fukushima“

Alito “Fukushima”?

Blow up? Like a flooded nuclear power plant?

Are we sure this isn’t satire?

SECOND BROTHER: And the Lord spake, saying, “First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”

Probably went to a Swap Meet in Kiev before heading to Hawaii.

Always put your paperweights in checked baggage.

But who doesn’t want to bring a couple of pineapples home from Hawaii.

“The fuse type is the blue M228. “

Fuses are available for practice grenades?

Take out the pin. Count to three. Throw it as far as you can.

Then hand the grenade back to the instructor.

The one in Hilo is Japanese. He bought the inert grenades in a local army surplus store as souvenirs to take back home to Japan. They released him this afternoon without filing any charges.

I wonder if the GI who nicknamed the Somalis ‘Skinnies’ was a Heinlein fan...

Explain to me how this "abundance of caution" is not just pure imbecility?:
