The most unusual find at the airport might just be the Transportation Security Administration’s video of confiscated items.

Curtis Robert “Blogger Bob” Burns, who works for the TSA, hosted the video list again this year and included his bizarre takes on why someone would want to fly with a face tenderizer, a deadly looking fidget spinner, or a rifle-shaped umbrella.

When musician and former Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher sees scissors, he thinks, “Ah, scissors, the things you use to make beautiful British rock music.”

This way of thinking — this vision — would explain the scissor player (lead scissorist) featured in Gallagher’s band The High Flying Birds during a recent televised BBC performance.

In case you’re confused, let’s clear something up: this is what it sounds like it is.  Read more…
