One person at Atlantic City International tried to pass through a security checkpoint with bullets inside their deodorant container.
The agency screened more than 110 million people, just in the holiday season alone.

The agency asks people not to pack water bottles or other beverages in carry-on bags. Liquids above 3.4 ounces are not allowed past checkpoints.
