An Airmont man was arrested Monday at John F. Kennedy International Airport after a TSA officer searched his carry-on bag and found a 5-inch knife built into his belt-buckle, TSA said in a news release.
Chaim Gruenzweig, 19, is charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.
Gruenzweig, who had a ticket to Frankfurt, Germany, was arrested by Port Authority police, who seized the belt-buckle knife combination tool, the release said.
The knife was detected by a TSA officer staffing an X-ray machine and was “configured as part of the belt’s buckle in an effort to conceal the fact that it was a weapon,” the release said.
The incident did not interfere with airport operations, TSA said.
