“Beauty hurts” is a phrase from yesteryear that took on new meaning on Thursday during a routine inspection at LaGuardia Airport, where law enforcement seized an unusual lipstick.
A @TSA officer recently stopped a traveler from bringing this knife on a flight at @LGAairport. Instead of lipstick in the tube, a twist of the handle reveals a razor-sharp blade instead of lipstick. If it was lipstick, the color would be what, blood red? pic.twitter.com/FVJs1zVPjR
A TSA officer confiscated a pretty blood-red lipstick, but this is not a new range of makeup to celebrate Halloween, but a ruse to hide a sharp blade .
According to the TSA, a traveler was detained at the airport security checkpoint after the officer found a tube of lipstick in his bag that hid a razor inside.
The TSA did not immediately clarify whether the passenger faces weapons possession charges.
