Woman gets past airport checkpoint armed with weapons
Jan 26, 2004 12:00 PM
A woman passed through security screening at New York's LaGuardia Airport with a stun gun and knife in her purse -- but later discovered the mistake herself and alerted authorities. The woman realized she was carrying the items after a short layover in Detroit and on her way to Denver.
"She immediately went, 'Oh, my God, I'm not supposed to have these here,' and called the flight attendant over," Spirit Airlines spokeswoman Laura Bennett told The Associated Press. The pilot alerted Denver International Airport; police met the plane at the gate and took the woman into custody for questioning. She was released without charges.
Transportation Security Administration officials had no comment on the security slip.
