Man stopped for trying to bring grenade onto flight at Pittsburgh International Airport

FINDLAY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A man was stopped at Pittsburgh International Airport for trying to bring a grenade onto his flight.

Transportation Security Administration spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said while most people plan on having a blast on their trip, the passenger wasn’t thinking along those lines.

The grenade was inert. However, inert and live grenades are not allowed on planes, TSA said.
