TSA screened 638,705,790 passengers in 2013, and as we learned last year, if you look deeply within the possessions of that many people, you’re gonna find some weird stuff. Tons of weird stuff. Here’s a rundown of the craziest objects TSA found in 2013.

1,813 firearms (1,477 loaded)

Various containers holding “black powder”

A WWII era inert bazooka round

136 inert/novelty/replica grenades

562 stun guns

3-ounce Can of CS Teargas

So many knives

A leaking can of hairspray that exploded into flames at the checkpoint

A mace

Human skull fragments

So many cane swords

Three blocks of C4

A riot control grenade

An 8-inch tactical spike

So many throwing stars

Remember, behind those 1813 firearms are 1813 idiots who tried to get on a plane with a gun. TSA can be a pain, but thank god they kept all this stuff out of the air.
