The flight, which originated in Las Vegas, was delayed an hour when a flight attendant found the fireworks under a seat, airline spokesperson Ashley Dillon told CNN.
Passengers, none of whom claimed the explosives, were removed from the plane. The aircraft was inspected and baggage was re-searched. Once the TSA gave the all clear, the flight was re-boarded and set off for Missouri.
The TSA will investigate how the fireworks got on to the plane.
Now, the question is, how did those rats on a a plane and the bat on a plane get past the TSA too?

I'll save them investigating how they got on the plane. Answer: TSA agents are all idiots. They search babies and cripples in wheelchairs, while Middle Eastern men wearing turbans and carrying odd looking packages walk right on through.

Gosh I wonder what great harm they might cause. Probably far less than my friend's crochet needles, which she was allowed to take on the plane!

You can't take a pair of finger nail clippers on a plane, yet one can board with a screw driver (as long as it's seven inches or smaller). A person can do so much more damage with a screwdriver than a small pair of finger nail clippers. Where's the common sense?

Normally I would go to my doc, but they did a prostate exam, hernia check, and a basics physical for next to nothing. No appointments, just show up, stand in line for 30 minutes, and hit the skies knowing I am healthy. I might be blown out of the air by whatever they let through, but at least i know I am healthy.

The tag line for this story is very misleading. The headline should have read 'Fireworks found on airplane'. Calling fireworks explosives was obviously just an embelishment by this reporter, or editors of the HuffPost, for the sole purpose of attracting readers to this site. It's not a worthy ploy for a legitimate news organization! I am disappointed!

I suppose if they did not have their heards up their. Well, they would be able to see a bag of fire works. Must of happened when they were busy taking my wifes make up away
