BALTIMORE, Sept. 8 (UPI) -- The Transportation Security Administration said officers arrested a man whose carry-on bags were found by an X-ray machine to contain a gun and his pet dog.
The TSA said the man placed two carry-on bags on the X-ray belt Wednesday morning at Baltimore Washington International-Thurgood Marshall Airport and agents immediately spotted a handgun in the first item, a bag with wheels.
The second bag, which resembled a duffle bag, was revealed to contain a small dog.
"It's difficult to say which of the two was more surprising -- the X-ray image of the gun or the image of the dog's moving skeleton," the TSA said.
The gun, a 9 mm packed with two empty magazines, was seized by authorities and the man was arrested by Maryland Transportation Authority Police, who discovered the suspect was also carrying a small knife.
The man was arrested on weapons charges.
