Officials from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported that a traveler attempted to conceal marijuana pods in a jar of peanut butter. A TSA spokesperson wrote in a tweet that agents at Pittsburgh International Airport in Pennsylvania discovered the e-cigarettes in the passenger's checked luggage after they triggered an alert.
In a tweet, TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein stated that "when a TSA officer investigated why it was causing alarm, they removed three vape cartridges wrapped in plastic bags containing marijuana from the container.

According to a report by Insider, Farbstein added, "TSA is not looking for drugs, but when they are discovered during routine screening, law enforcement is contacted." "The traveler told officials that the jars were for medical purposes, but still felt that he should have hidden them. Not a good decision.
It is currently unclear whether any charges will be filed against travelers caught carrying marijuana. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued dad-joke warnings to other passengers, making the situation seem relatively effortless.
When our luggage inspector @PITairport made this unpleasant discovery, the passenger found themselves in a difficult situation. TSA is spreading awareness of this issue! As stated in the Instagram post, TSA allows electronic cigarettes in carry-on luggage as long as they do not contain THC like the liquid seen in the photo.
Okay, don't bake them in peanut butter, it's best to leave them at home. Although our officials didn't directly search these electronic cigarettes, if they are found to contain marijuana, we must report it to law enforcement," the agency stated on Instagram.
