The single-shot firearm, which resembles a pen in size and shape, was found during X-ray screening of the man’s luggage at about 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 13, a representative for the TSA confirmed. Massachusetts State Police were called to the security checkpoint, where they interviewed the passenger.
After speaking with police, the male traveler was allowed to continue through the airport and ultimately to his destination in Portland, Oregon — sans pen gun.
He also would have been allowed to transport the item had he packed it properly in his checked baggage, the TSA said.

"What's all this about a penguin in someone's luggage? I don't think people ought to put penguins in their luggage. It's just not right.

Normally people like this are arrested on the spot by TSA and/or local police. Did this person have a MA concealed carry license? Amazing how uncurious the reporter is about who this person was. Heading to Portland: the person must be an important leftist or Dem official.

Could have been a tear gas pen. I have seen them where they fire a cartridge that gets screwed onto the business end.

I don't think people ought to put penguins in their luggage. It's just not right. "What's on the telly?"
"Looks like a penguin."
