TSA to Take a Closer Look at Remote-Controlled Toys

A press release issued Monday morning by the Transportation Security Administration states that remote-controlled toys will be scrutinized by airport screeners due to concerns they could be used to detonate bombs.

According to the TSA this new practice has not been enacted due to a specific threat. However, authorities recently took into custody two Florida college students who posted a video to the internet about how to detonate a bomb using a remote-controlled toy.

Folks, you know what this means. Don’t bring the toys in your carry-on luggage. Better yet, leave them at home. Something tells me the TSA’s in a confiscatin’ mood.

Maybe they’ll end up storing the harmless little cars and planes in the same warehouse with those dangerous sippy cups?

Passengers who carry the toys may be subject to secondary screening.
