13. My mom accidentally left three cartridges in her small carry-on bag

She would also use it as her range bag, and the bullets were stuck under the flap bags can have on the bottom. TSA freaked the hell out and wanted her arrested, but the LEOs there (Pittsburgh) roared with laughter and let her go. She still does get pulled aside and searched almost every time now, even with Global Entry.

The best part: this was on the RETURN trip, so she made it through the TSA at Charlotte.

My mother is the most law abiding citizen I know, and she made this mistake. I believe Griner, especially since she has lived there for so long.
