TSO Olette Davis of Chicago's Midway International Airport discovered a 2¼-inch knife artfully concealed in the face of a belt buckle. As Davis worked the X-ray machine on March 6, she noticed that a passenger's belt buckle had a very dark center. A physical inspection revealed the knife. Law enforcement arrested the passenger for a dangerous weapons violation. "This was a good catch," said Assistant FSD Jerry Robinson. "Our TSO's vigilance really paid off."
