This is one way to get yourself launched out of the airport.
A Florida man was caught at Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley International Airport on Monday trying to bring a military-grade rocket-propelled grenade launcher – grenade included – onto the flight in his checked bag.

“Are you happy to see me or...?”
His cellmate will be.........................
Hey at least it wasn’t a gun, right?
Or more than 3 oz of hand lotion.
Officers quickly found that the grenade launcher was not a functioning weapon, but a replica.

Hmmm. Usually, TSA can be forgiving when you bring a personal weapon accidentally. Depending on the local police, they can let you return it to your car or give it to a family member who isn’t traveling with you ( based on my experience at a Florida airport recently).
RPG’s are a different matter. It was no accident. And that a-hole should go to federal prison for a while. And never be allowed to fly in the US again. Just MHO.
So what?? That is not illegal!! No rocket. WHAT A WASTE OF TAX MONEY ON THESE STOOGES. Give me a break.
Was it Akmed Johnson?
Reminds me of Back to the Future, “it’s the Libyans “
Soviet issued RPG-7. AKA the m8ddle eastern party favor.

Since it’s a “replica”, why doesn’t the Headline say it’s a REPLICA?
“trying to bring a military-grade rocket propelled grenade launcher”
As oppossed to a civilian-grade rocket propelled grenade launcher?

Looks like a movie prop or something.
Hmmm... apparently he didn’t have any rockets so what’s the big deal?
