-- A traveler at New York City's John F. Kennedy International airport got into a sticky situation -- literally.
A Rhode Island man was arrested last week after TSA agents discovered parts of a disassembled semi-automatic handgun disguised within two jars of peanut butter in his luggage,The agency said a checked bag containing the peanut butter jars triggered an alarm in an X-ray unit at JFK airport on December 22. Closer inspection revealed the gun parts, wrapped in plastic and "jammed" into two jars of what appear to be Jif brand peanut butter.
"The gun parts were artfully concealed in two smooth creamy jars of peanut butter, but there was certainly nothing smooth about the way the man went about trying to smuggle his gun," said John Essig, TSA's federal security director for JFK Airport, in the release. "Our officers are good at their jobs and are focused on their mission -- especially during the busy holiday travel period.
One gangster said to the other...'quick quick, I need one now and send it in a Jiffy'...and that gangster is rolling their eyes right now...🙄
That's the extra chunky stuff.
That’s nuts!!!
This a crime of “a salt and buttery”!
I call BS on this one
How many tones of the peanut butter did we get through the Pearson? 🤔
How tho? X-ray or Nose 👃?
Time to ban peanut butter unfortunately
People still don't understand how x-ray works?

What? Is nothing sacred?
They didn't count on the TSA agents being total stoners with the munchies ' Dooooood there's like a firing pin in my jif!'
But ya... go after the hunters.
Oh wow…that’s messed up.
Now that’s chunky style peanut butter
Why not report on the junk being smuggled across Southern border ?

Cudos to the person who cleaned them
Relevance to Canada?
If you ever wondered why you have to take off your shoes and can't carry fluid containers larger than 100mL, it's because TSA caught someone trying to carry on an ineffective size/amount of weapon in said objects. Which means Peanut Butter is going to get banned.
Those rural farmers are up to it again!!
TSA knows which specific group of people are bringing guns over the border in mass but they don’t dare bring it up publicly or go after that group! Instead, the government picks on law abiding legal gun ownership, which contributes to 0% of the crimes
This happened like a week ago.
😲 😮 😲 😮 😲
Did it... Jam?
Peanut butter jailing time
