The TSA said a gun frame had been jammed in the bottom of a boot, below a sock that was stuffed in behind it in an effort to conceal the weapon. The rest of the handgun — the slide, spring and gun magazine loaded with 12 bullets — were detected among plastic building blocks inside a Black Panther LEGO set.

The reason for this distinction is an incident in October where a Mississippi man attempted to hide gun parts in a boot behind a sock, while concealing other parts in a Lego box.
