When homeopathy isn’t the dumbest part of a story, you know there’s a real problem.

A New York airport screener who removed two pipes from a traveler’s bag and set them aside Monday morning prompted a security scare six hours later when the next shift saw the pipes and feared they might be pipe bombs, local and federal officials said.

…

Several law enforcement sources told CNN the objects were determined to be homeopathic medical devices.

If we’re really being fair to the TSA though, a lone pipe is just a highly diluted form of a bomb.
