Authorities at Atlantic City International Airport made a surprising find last year when they opened a passenger's deodorant.
Members of the Transportation Security Administration on Sept. 4 found six bullets stashed inside a deodorant stick when a traveler at the airport tried concealing them to take on a flight.
The incident was featured as No. 10 of the agency's top 10 catches of 2021. The agency shared its picks in a video posted to its Twitter account.
It’s here! “TSA’s Top 10 Catches of 2021!” From bear spray to meth-rritos, our officers found some truly unusual items. They worked hard to keep travelers safe as they returned to the skies. What would you pick as your number one catch? Let us know! #TSATop10 pic.twitter.com/3o2zQs5IrC

The TSA flagged the deodorant when it was examined by X-ray.
Other finds include a pistol at Newark Liberty International Airport and a chainsaw at New Orleans International Airport.
