A TikTok video showing TSA agents at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport stopping a man for carrying ten cans of SPAM in his carry-on has gone viral. Posted late last month, the video captures the Massachusetts man attempting to board a flight when TSA agents began pulling the SPAM cans, including special flavors like teriyaki, from his bag.
During the incident, the man explained to the TSA agents that the cans came “straight from the factory.” The agents performed a test on the cans before allowing him to proceed with his unique cargo. The video has garnered nearly 500,000 views and generated more than 3,000 comments, with many viewers amused and intrigued by the unusual encounter.
The viral video highlights the sometimes unexpected and humorous situations that can arise at airport security checkpoints, drawing significant attention and reactions from social media users.
