In 2011, the TSA at John Wayne confiscated 111 items that they deemed “extremely dangerous,” according to Nico Melendez, the TSA Spokesman for California, Arizona, and Hawaii. In 2012, only 42 dangerous items were taken. These items are obviously not your travel lube that's over 3 oz., but things like firearms, flammables, explosives, fireworks, and sharp objects.
