And why exactly did it have to be in a carry-on?
Methinks someone was a bit thirsty for attention.

Nobody move!
I’ve got a roll of toilet paper and I mean to use it.
Did he forget his open carry license?
I guess it’s one way to get rid of terrible gifts.

A friend who collected war memorabilia had a (defused) grenade with him on a flight from England to Canada. No problem. (Circa 1972.)

You may be onto something here.

I’ve been flying a lot lately and one thing I’ve noticed is how many people are surprisingly clueless about TSA rules that have been in place for years. The most common one is people being forced to throw away full size bottles of soap, shampoo, drinks, etc. Also people asking if they have to take off their shoes, take out laptops, etc. Of course, all of this is stupid, but the rules have been in place for a long time now and I’m amazed at how many people seem to not be aware of them.
On a side note, I’ve been flying in and out of Newark on all my travels lately, and I hate that airport with a passion. Also, I get flagged by the body scanner EVERY FREAKIN TIME! This last time, before the very nice TSA lady had a chance to molest me conduct a pat down, some guy who left something on the entry side of the scanner tried to walk back through it causing every TSA agent in the vicinity to descend on him. I waited dutifully where I was until my agent noticed me still there and told me I could go on.
I fly on average once per year. It’s not worth keeping up with the travel regulations. You’re subject to the individual agent’s interpretation/memory/whim anyway, so why try to get it right? Even if you get it right, they may move you to a different line with different rules. Just let them explain it when you get there. The only thing I check is for allowable carry-on and checked items, nothing behavioral.

For obvious reasons.
Here’s hoping this didn’t unduly delay other travellers as well.

we don’t show those kinds of videos here, that roll orientation is an abomination.

If you have cats this is the correct way to face the roll.

Precisely. Or toddlers. People don’t put rolls that way for adult consumption. It’s only out of necessity.
