Giottos Rocketblower and TSA
I haven't been able to confirm the story past Reddit – not the most reliable source – but there's a claim that Newark, NJ TSA confiscated a Giottos Rocket Blower because it "looked like a bomb."

It's plausible, I suppose, but is TSA really that dumb?

Good Lord.... yes, they probably ARE that stupid..but
I've had mine through Security at least 20 times since I've had it (when they hand-searched my camera backpack) and none of the people questioned it.
Actually, from a medical standpoint, it looks more like a super-sized Fleet's-type enema..
