A traveler attempting to hide a prohibited substance inside a prohibited item — and then tucking them into his groin area — was quickly caught by TSA officers this week.

Authorities say a TSA checkpoint scanner alerted them that the man had been hiding something under his clothes.

An Orangeville, Pa. man was arrested on Monday after he was, allegedly, found with a shotgun shell stuffed with methamphetamine hidden in his groin as he attempted to enter the Philadelphia International Airport.

The Columbia County man was flagged at a checkpoint scanner on Monday and the shotgun shell was found under his clothes in his groin area, officials said.

A Pennsylvania man was arrested after TSA agents found an altered shotgun shell filled with methamphetamines concealed in his groin at a security checkpoint.

TSA officers at the Philadelphia International Airport said the shotgun shell contained an illegal item — but not what you’d expect to find.

A Florida man was stopped by TSA Agents at Philadelphia International Airport after they allegedly found a gun in his carry-on bag Tuesday.
