ROANOKE, Va – Starting Tuesday, the Travel Security Administration (TSA) will begin enforcement of President Biden’s mask mandate. President Biden’s Executive Order requires a mask or face covering for everyone except those covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act or under the age of two. While not every state has had a mask mandate in place, the TSA said the change is coming as a direct order from the White House. “So if you’re not wearing a mask, TSA will offer you one or ask you to put one and if you declined to do so the TSA will not let you submit a checkpoint, can’t get through the checkpoint can’t get on the plane,” TSA Spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said. TSA is also considering implementing fines for those who choose not to comply with the executive order.

TSA via CNN(CNN) - TSA agents are used to finding strange and alarming objects in travelers' luggage, whether it's snakes, switchblades or swords. The latest addition to that list: a missile launcher. The agents at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport made the discovery Monday in the checked bag of a man who was coming back from Kuwait. Unfortunately for would-be souvenir hunters, the TSA notes that "Military weapons are not permitted in checked or carry-on bags." The missile launcher was given to the state fire marshal for disposal, and the man was released in time to catch his flight.
