The Transportation Security Administration in the United States said that security officers found 17 bullets concealed inside a disposable baby diaper on Wednesday (Dec 20) at New York's LaGuardia Airport.&nbsp;

The TSA said that when a passenger's carry-on bag triggered an alarm in an X-ray machine, the officers pulled the clean diaper at an airport security checkpoint.&nbsp;

The agency said that initially, the passenger claimed he didn't know how the bullet-filled diaper ended up in his bag.&nbsp;

However, later he said that his girlfriend put it there.&nbsp;

The TSA identified the passenger as an Arkansas man, who had a ticket to Chicago's Midway Airport but did not reveal his name.&nbsp;

The Port Authority police issued a citation for illegal possession of 9mm ammunition - a violation for unlawful possession as ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage. It is allowed only in the checked-in ones.&nbsp;

The TSA said that finding the bullets concealed in an unusual item. "Apparently this guy needs a bullet-proof plan for packing his carry-on bag before heading to the airport for his next flight," it said.&nbsp;

However, this is not the first time LaGuardia Airport authorities have made a strange discovery at the security checkpoint.

Officers found a .45-caliber pistol and a magazine loaded with six bullets inside a pair of Nike sneakers in a checked bag at LaGuardia Airport last month.&nbsp;

<h2>New Year in New York&nbsp;</h2>

In another update, many are planning to celebrate the New Year in New York as people have started pouring in.&nbsp;

The iconic Times Square New Year's Eve "2024" numbers arrived in New York on Wednesday (Dec 20). The numbers&nbsp;travelled cross-country from Los Angeles, California in a 2024 Kia EV9 SUV, an all-electric vehicle.&nbsp;

The numerals are seven feet tall (about 2.13 meters) and use a total of 588 energy-efficient LED bulbs.

The first three numerals ("2-0-2") will act as "understudies," said Tom Harris, president of Times Square Alliance.
