League of Legends Fan Tries to Bring Five-Inch Spiked Blade on Plane
The latest entry in the Transportation Security Authority's Instagram catalog of heavy artillery: the five-inch, eight-spiked death blade above, which some hapless traveler tried to bring onto a flight from Baltimore-Washington International Airport. But worry not: it was only his trusty spinning axe, straight out of League of Legends.
TSA posted the photo yesterday along with the following caption:
#TSAGoodCatch - We don't actually know what this is, but it was discovered in a carry-on bag at the #Baltimore – #Washington (#BWI) International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Any ideas?
Gamers quickly obliged. Some representative Instagram comments: "LMAO DRAVENS AXE HAHAHA," "ROFL NICE CATCH TSA," "LMAOOOO DRAVEN," "DRAAAVEN LMAO," "DRAAAAAAAAVEN," "DRRRAAAVVVEEENNNNNNN," "DRAAAAAAAAVVVVVEEEEENNNNNNN."
Draven, I learned after googling, is the name of a character in the computer game League of Legends, who is also known as "The Glorious Executioner." Judging by the little ring at the top, the TSA's booty is probably a replica keychain. Still, that thing looks dangerous. How are you supposed to hold it without poking your hand?
