According to the Transportation Security Administration, an off-duty law enforcement officer saw the passenger place the knife inside the prosthetic and alerted Lead TSA Officer Raynani Camara.<\/p>\n

Camara notified Supervisory Officer Michael Bugarin, who reviewed surveillance video and confirmed the passenger placed an item into the prosthetic at the divestiture table before screening.<\/p>\n

The prosthetic was then X-rayed, revealing a folding knife concealed in the underside heel of the foot. The passenger was denied entry into the checkpoint and escorted out of the screening area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis incident is a powerful reminder that situational awareness is essential at every moment\u2014not just during routine screening,\u201d said Hawaii TSA Federal Security Director Nanea Vasta. \u201cThe vigilance and swift action of Camara and Bugarin, combined with their effective use of available tools like CCTV, demonstrate our commitment to mitigating threats in even the most hectic environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vasta also thanked the off-duty officer for reporting the suspicious activity, saying the incident highlights the importance of teamwork and public awareness in helping keep travelers safe.<\/p>\n
