A man allegedly tried to carry a “vampire straw” through airport security in Boston – but authorities bared their fangs and arrested him over the self-defense weapon.
State troopers confiscated the sharp implement at Terminal B near Gate 24 at about 5:40 p.m.
The company promotes the product — which sells for $85 — as a drinking straw that can be used for self-defense. “The Vampire straw is also long enough to drink from any long beverage can,” the company continues. “Designed for self defense, the Vampire straw is super tough and long enough to be used like a dagger.”“The Vampire straw is also a very effective tire deflator, and can be carried in a cup, in public without attracting attention. From a cup, the Vampire straw is very easy to deploy in reverse grip, and put into action almost instantly,” the company says.
