An 80-year-old woman was surprised when she learned that her walking cane contained a hidden sword that was discovered by security at a South Carolina airport, the TSA said.
The woman relinquished her cane after security found a hidden blade nearly the length of the cane at the Myrtle Beach International Airport., the Sun News reports.
“She had no clue it was in there,” TSA spokesman Mark Howell said.
The woman said she received the cane from her son.
The TSA said it’s not uncommon for people to buy items at thrift stores without knowing that a weapon is stored inside.
