Secret Santa Gone Wrong: Weed Found In Candle At Logan Airport: TSA Officials

A ho-hum Christmas gift from a coworker made a 53-year-old man quiet the humbug when he found out he had been made a sweetly-scented, unwitting drug mule, travel officials said.

TSA officers noticed something suspicious about the man's candle during a security screening at Boston's Logan Airport on Thursday, Jan. 12, a spokesperson said on Twitter.

To their surprise, the dope candle was stuffed with — well, dope. Marijuana was actually found encased inside the decoration, the TSA official said.

Unfortunately for the man, the TSA does not allow marijuana on aircraft unless it is medicinal, so agents were forced to squash his (travel) buzz.

Maybe next Christmas, the man's his co-worker should refer to agency's list of acceptable items to bring on a plane before buying his gift.
