Couple's wedding favor idea causes evacuation

A couple's idea for their wedding guests backfired when TSA agents at Denver International Airport saw "TNT" on them.

A bride and groom whose names both start with the letter T had the idea to make little TNT bottles filled with bath salts for their guests. But TSA was concerned and evacuated the airport as a precaution.

 

#TSATravelTips - Be mindful of what you’re traveling with and what it might appear as on an X-ray monitor. These novelty bottles of bath salts topped with wax-covered lids and fuses were discovered in a checked bag at the Denver International Airport (DEN) and resulted in a 20-minute evacuation while bomb specialists cleared the items. What looked like possible explosives were just wedding souvenirs. The bride and groom’s names both start with "T"; thus "TNT.”

The couple was not charged.

However, the agency put pictures up on Instagram to remind travelers to be mindful of what they pack.
