The Transportation Security Administration is conveying an important message to travelers in a lighthearted way. This effort comes after agents discovered several unusual items in passengers' carry-on luggage.

The items found include snakes, knives, grenades, and ranch dressing. It is clear that the TSA is highlighting the importance of being mindful of what is packed in carry-on luggage.

Further details about the TSA's message and the incidents that prompted it are available from KTXS, the local ABC affiliate in Abilene, Texas.
