(CNN) – A woman was detained at Los Angeles International Airport last week for having over 80 fireworks in her carry-on luggage.
The woman was flagged when security saw suspicious items on the X-ray machine.
TSA found 82 fireworks, three knives, two replica firearms, and a canister of pepper spray inside her bag.
The suspect, who was flying to Philadelphia, was interviewed by police.
The fireworks were confiscated.
Explosives such as fireworks are never permitted in luggage – whether checked or carried on.
Meanwhile, knives, replica firearms, and small amounts of pepper spray can be put in checked bags for domestic flights.
