Travelers bring some really interesting things through the Boston Logan TSA checkpoint. Sure, we all know that we can’t bring liquid over 3.4oz through the checkpoint. And we’ve all seen the spring breaker have the fuzzy handcuffs taken out of their bag. Despite all the warning signs and announcements, some travelers have brought insane things to Boston Logan airport!

Patriots Player Arrested For Loaded Guns At Security Checkpoint

New England Patriots player, Jack Jones, was arrested for carrying two firearms into Boston Logan Airport. This happened on June 16, 2023 at Terminal B at 5:30pm.

Jones was traveling from Boston to Arizona when TSA found two loaded firearms. He was booked at the State Police Logan Airport Barracks, with bail set at $50,000. He’s facing multiple charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm, carrying a loaded firearm, possession of a large-capacity feeding device and possession of ammunition without a firearm identification card. Jones is scheduled to be arraigned in East Boston District Court next week.

The Patriots released a brief statement saying, “We have been notified that Jack Jones was arrested at Logan Airport earlier today. We are in the process of gathering more information and will not be commenting further at this time.”

Fly Smart

Next time you head to the airport for a vacation, make sure to grab your swim trunks, sunscreen, and leave the road flares at home. I “dug” through the New England TSA’s Twitter to find these 18 crazy items confiscated at Boston Logan Airport!

Here Are The Craziest Items Found By Boston Logan TSA

• 1. Torch, Flare, and Knives

  Heck of a catch! Recently @TSA officers @BostonLogan detected a flare, three throwing knives, a torch lighter, two magnesium fire starters, and a paracord tactical knife bracelet all in one passenger's carry-on bag. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/gmiaYOgBWN

  “Okay kids, get some Dunkin’ and then look for the flare.. that’s where your mother and I will be!”

• 2. A Gun!

  The TSA confiscated a record number of guns during 2022. This is #31 of the year!

• 3. Knives Out: The Boston-Logan Edition

  Merry Knifemas! On Christmas day @TSA officers detected these two knives in a man's carry-on bag during security screening @BostonLogan. @MassStatePolice responded and eventually cited the man on a state charge. Hope they weren't presents! #travelfail pic.twitter.com/3A4bRmfdof

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) December 26, 2022

  Nobody likes using the plastic knives to cut their midflight dinner, but don’t you think this is overkill?

• 4. Grandpa's Shocking Secret

  This morning during security screening, @TSA officers @BostonLogan detected this cane with a built-in taser! ⚡️ @MassStatePolice responded and eventually took possession of the taser cane. The 75-year-old Massachusetts man was allowed to continue. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/XzTezLk6WL

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) December 19, 2022

  This is shocking!

• 5. Hatchets?

  Whether big or small, hatchets cannot be in your carry-on bag! A passenger found that out yesterday when @TSA officers @BostonLogan detected this one during security screening. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/C7EehYmixt

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) December 7, 2022

  No, that was not a chainsaw you heard on the plane, it was the guy next to you snoring. You don’t need your hatchet to assist.

• 6. Pepper Spray

  Pepper Spray anyone? @TSA officers @BostonLogan detected quite a few of these during Thanksgiving holiday travel days. These items are not allowed in your carry-on bag! They are allowed in checked baggage if there's a safety mechanism to prevent accidental discharge. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/zrt2Qp9P2x

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) December 6, 2022

  This is such an easy item to forget you have on your keychain, so the easy solution is to have your boyfriend/husband drive so you can leave your keys at home!

• 7. Bottle Opener Grenades

  On Friday @TSA officers @BostonLogan came across these replica grenade bottle openers! If it looks like a grenade...it's not getting on the plane with you! #travelfail pic.twitter.com/oNXcUYtxz8

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) November 26, 2022

  Imagine the guy next to you at the airport bar opening a beer with these. I bet that wouldn’t go off with a bang.

• 8. More Grenades!

  This morning @TSA officers @BostonLogan discovered this replica hand grenade during checked bag security screening. Turns out this is a Fortnite🎮toy grenade. Replica grenades are not allowed in any travel bag! #travelfail pic.twitter.com/kTgG7U73fc

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) August 30, 2022

  Replica or not, you can’t bring this on the plane!

• 9. Throwing Stars

  Throwing Stars and Daggers...oh my! On Sunday @BostonLogan, @TSA officers detected these items in a man's carry-on bag. He stated he mixed up his baggage. @MassStatePolice escorted the man back to the ticket counter to properly place these items in his checked bag. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/Hn0hm3NgKg

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) August 22, 2022

  How many throwing stars does a guy really need?

• 10. Single Shot Firearm

  .@TSA officers @BostonLogan detected this .22 caliber single shot firearm Saturday afternoon. This was the 17th firearm detected at a BOS security checkpoint. pic.twitter.com/HL2QZ8RuEr

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) August 14, 2022

  How many people are going to try to bring a gun through security? Any number feels to high…

• 11. Gun Shaped Lighter

  .@TSA officers @BostonLogan recently detected this gun lighter during security screening. These type of items should be placed in a checked bag. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/doEark95Ke

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) July 28, 2022

  Gun shaped lighters are allowed in your checked luggage, but not in your carry on. Check it, before you wreck it.

• 12. A Shotgun

  Yesterday during checked bag screening @BostonLogan, @TSA officers discovered this improperly packaged 12-gauge shotgun. The 4-lock hard sided case was only secured with one lock. Firearm travel guidelines here:https://t.co/LpW0OpI2wQ #travelfail pic.twitter.com/S3yrpoPxlh

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) June 13, 2022

  “Honey, did you pack the kids, snacks, and the 12 gauge? We’re going to be late for our flight!”

  While it is legal to transport a firearm as part of your checked luggage, it has to be done correctly!

• 13. Training Firearm

  Yesterday @BostonLogan, @TSA officers detected this training firearm during security screening. The Florida resident stated he's a training instructor, and forgot the replica was in his bag. Realistic replica firearms must be packed in a checked bag. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/HFd6ZB1KaA

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) June 2, 2022

  Sticking with the firearms theme, we have entered a new one into the mix: a training firearm. Again, while not illegal to travel with, you have to check it.

• 14. A Switchblade

  On Wednesday @BostonLogan, @TSA officers detected this mean looking switchblade during security screening. @MassStatePolice responded and cited the female passenger on a state charge. Knives cannot board an aircraft with you! #travelfail pic.twitter.com/1WGSsoAiSV

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) May 12, 2022

  Okay folks, lets switch it up and leave the knives at home!

• 15. A Batman Blade

  A look at some prohibited items @TSA officers @BostonLogan have recently detected. Passengers who have these items in their carry-on bag can slow down the lines. Leave these at home or pack them properly in your checked bag please! #Travel #NewEngland #Boston pic.twitter.com/GtqaUYQxmH

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) April 18, 2022

  Looking at this photo I am so confused about the packing process other people go through.

• 16. Knife Cane

  Yesterday @TSA officers @BostonLogan discovered this hidden blade inside of a cane. When questioned by @MassStatePolice the man claimed he had no idea the blade was in there.🤷🏼‍♂️After surrendering the cane, he was cleared to continue. #travelfail pic.twitter.com/Toqo0OORYZ

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) April 6, 2022

  This is the type of thing I imagine the world traveling grandfathers have to scare their grandkids at family dinners, but not the type of thing you bring to the airport.

• 17. Butcher Knives

  We loves babies...but not butcher knives! Yesterday @BostonLogan, @TSA officers detected this 10-inch butcher knife in an baby car seat. @MassStatePolice responded and confiscated the knife. Pack your knives properly in your checked bag and you're good to go. #travelfail #Boston pic.twitter.com/hfza8Ba9Q5

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) March 29, 2022

  The saying goes “Don’t put baby in the corner,” but if this is the corner, I think baby has a pretty good chance.

• 18. Belt Knife

  Yesterday @BostonLogan during security screening, @TSA officers discovered a detachable metal belt buckle that contained an artfully concealed knife. Best to wear a regular belt and pack this belt in your checked bag! #travelfail #NewEngland pic.twitter.com/TiCMP3qV02

  — TSA_NewEngland (@TSA_NewEngland) March 4, 2022

  If you believe in dressing for the job you want and not the job you have, than this guy was trying to become 007. However, I don’t think James Bond would have gotten caught.
