The audacity of the smugglers was high this time.
At Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Florida, police found a firearm hidden inside a raw chicken. The fact occurred at the time of the Thanksgiving holiday, a commemorative date in the United States where the habit of eating turkey was created.

- peanut butter jar
The most curious thing is how they managed to put an entire gun inside a jar of peanut butter.
In December of last year, at JFK-New York International Airport, security agents found a collapsible firearm hidden inside such a container. With the naked eye, it was impossible to see the gun, but the metal detector alerted when the pot was placed on the ramp. Soon the authorities found her.

An individual attempted to carry a concealed firearm inside a PlayStation at the Atlanta airport. The man was trying to take the gun to California, but the security system went off when the console was “shipping”. Security agents were able to locate the object.
