Transportation Security Administration officers at an Alabama airport discovered five Civil War-era cannonballs inside a passenger’s checked luggage, prompting a bomb scare and a police investigation. The highly unusual find was made on July 18 at Gulf Shores International Airport when Lead TSA Officer Justin Dupree spotted the projectiles during an X-ray screening. “That would have to be the weirdest thing in our short existence that we’ve ever had come through TSA,” said Airport Director Jesse Fosnaugh. Investigators determined the artifacts had been taken from nearby Fort Morgan, a historic Civil War fort and museum where removing relics is prohibited. The passenger was ultimately allowed to board the flight after the items were deemed safe, and the cannonballs were returned to Fort Morgan.
