Woman Arrested At Phoenix Airport With Knife In Her Bra, Says FBI

A woman trying to fly through Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was arrested last month after a knife was found in her bra.

Erine Aisha Robertson was passing through airport security on November 28 to board a flight to San Francisco, according to Phoenix FBI.

After senors went off at the Transportation Security Administration checkpoint, she was taken to a private screening area where authorities say Robertson reached into her bra and pulled out a small pocket knife.

Robertson was arrested and charged with attempting to carry a weapon on an aircraft, which is a federal crime.

Despite the drop in travelers, TSA in Phoenix are still finding weapons among those who are still flying. As of October, TSA has found 92 firearms in carry-on luggage at the Phoenix airport. It's also not usual for agents to find knives, too.

"We see brass knuckles. We see just different types of knives, throwing knives, throwing stars. There seems to be a resurgence in martial arts type activities or devices," Paty Mancha with the TSA told AZ Family.

TSA has seized some interesting items, including a cricket bat, a flashlight modified into a stun gun, and a knife disguised as a belt buckle.

The most common items confiscated at Phoenix's security checkpoint are not weapons, but alcohol and power tools.
