Daggers Found Hidden in Book at Reagan Airport, TSA Says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Transportation Security Administration says officers found two throwing daggers hidden in a hollowed-out book at a checkpoint at Reagan-Washington National Airport.
A TSA spokesman says a passenger was stopped Monday when officers found the knives in the person's carry-on bag. The daggers measured just over a half-foot long and were hidden in the hard-cover book.
The passenger was flying to Chicago and surrendered the knives and book.

A spokesman for the airport did not immediately return a call for comment.
