Security officers at New York’s LaGuardia Airport found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby nappy, the Transportation Security Administration said.

Officers pulled the otherwise clean nappy from a passenger’s carry-on bag after it triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine at an airport security checkpoint, the TSA said.
