18. A Huge Wooden Mallet

This one was definitely odd. The TSA confiscated a huge wooden mallet that was found in a carry-on at the Burlington International Airport in Vermont back in 2014. The item can be placed in the checked baggage, if it fits, but it cannot be carried in the hand luggage as it is considered a bludgeon. What was this person thinking – “I got to have me this mallet!”?
