Who could have predicted that the Transportation Security Administration would frown upon a passenger trying to check baggage that contains a cannon barrel?

One passenger at Hawaii’s Kahului Airport is not among them.

“You can add this one to the ‘items we don’t see every day’ category,” writes Bob Burns on the always entertaining TSA Blog. “An unloaded cannon barrel was discovered along with a passenger’s checked items at the Kahului Airport (OGG). Our officers have discovered cannonballs in the past, but this is the first cannon I can recall.”
