They captioned it, "This passenger at Chicago O'Hare International Airport must have expected a sharp drop in temperature, only to have to leave their rain guardian behind. While bladeless umbrellas are good to go as a carry-on item, be sure to check with your airline for any size or weight restrictions."

TSA tweet about leaving bladed umbrellas behind at airports and advises checking airline restrictions. Mentions #NationalUmbrellaDay

Well, this set people off in the comments. Everyone is apparently a comedian!

Anyway, I love a picture of a TSA-confiscated item, but I'm still angry about the whole peanut butter thing. PEANUT BUTTER IS NOT A LIQUID.
