This Might Be the Best Government Instagram Account of All

This week, I did a roundup of some of the best government Instagram accounts, but as several readers pointed out, I neglected to mention one very special Insta-goldmine: The TSA. We covered this treasure trove in its early days, but it’s such a gem we thought you deserved a reminder.

There is no better place than the Transportation Security Administration’s social media to stay up on all the hilarious and frightening shit your fellow human beings are trying to sneak onto planes. Cocaine-concealing Red Bull cans. Batman throwing knives. Live smoke grenades. Sad exotic wildlife wrapped in socks. All, of course, packaged in Amaro, Valencia, and X-Pro, by the one TSA employee who definitely totally loves his job.
