The TSA found these inert grenades inside checked luggage at Newark Liberty Airport.


MYFOXNY.COM - A passenger traveling to Belgium from Newark Liberty Airport on Saturday had five inert grenades in her checked luggage, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

Screeners called in TSA explosives experts after they found the grenades on Dec. 3, 2011, officials said. The TSA explosives team determined the grenades were not operational. The passenger surrenders the grenades to security officers.

The incident did not disrupt the airport's operation, the TSA said.

Also on Saturday, Newark screeners found a credit card knife in the wallet of a passenger headed to Los Angeles. Port Authority Police responded, confiscated the weapon, and let the man fly, the TSA said.
