TSA agents at Dulles International Airport discovered three saw blades a man had hidden in his iPad case on Friday, a TSA spokesperson said via Twitter today. Once the agents confiscated the blades, they let the man board his flight.
Asked on Twitter if the man was fined or charged at the airport, the spokesperson replied:
Nope. Once we detected the blades, he voluntarily surrendered the items and we sent him on his way.

While hiding saw blades seem a forgivable offense, guns are a different matter. Earlier today, @TSAmedia_LisaF tweeted:
Goshen, NY, man arrested by PAPD at EWR this morning with firearm that TSA detected at the checkpoint. Man was ticketed to fly to PHX.
