Other than to carve a Halloween pumpkin, a TSA spokeswoman asked why anyone would try to bring a jumbo kitchen knife aboard a flight after agents intercepted one at a LaGuardia Airport checkpoint.

This comes after they found a "razor-sharp" throwing star among a traveler's carry-on items as he passed through the checkpoint. "Sorry, but martial arts weapons, by definition, are weapon…

A man who tried carrying a large sword onto a plane at Newark Airport was nabbed by TSA agents. He apparently thought he could carry it past a security checkpoint because of its value, TSA Transportation Security Administration Public Affairs spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said Monday. “Doesn't matter to TSA how much the weapon is worth,” Farbstein said. “No weapons should be brought in the cabin of a plane.” It was one of several weapons that TSA agents found people illegally carrying through checkpoints at airports throughout the country the past few days. A passenger at Seattle-Tacoma Int…

A magnetic monorail is being considered to spare drivers the extra time in traffic getting to and from the American Dream in East Rutherford. The high-speed Maglev monorail -- which floats on magnets -- would be an alternative to the extension of the Meadowlands rail line, currently operating out of MetLife Stadium, Gov. Phil Murphy said.
