Baltimore passenger hides mace in his "body cavity"

This post practically writes itself. A passenger trying to go through the security checkpoint at the Baltimore Washington International Airport this last weekend was detained after it was learned that he was attempting to smuggle a can of mace through the checkpoint...in his poop chute. Security screeners were tipped off when the man ran from the checkpoint barefoot straight to the nearest restroom. His shoes were still on the X-ray table when he abandoned the line because the placement of the can was, undoubtedly, quite uncomfortable. Airport police caught up with the man as he was attempting to discard the "recovered" mace. The can of mace was confiscated (hopefully with rubber gloves and a Ziploc baggie) and the individual was eventually allowed to rebook his flight. Of course, the man was denied boarding again when he showed up at the checkpoint because he had a bottle of lighter fluid on hand. I'm guessing with these skills, the man has spent a little time behind bars. At least he wasn't trying to hide a medieval mace in his cavity.
