OAKLAND, Calif. -- TSA agents in Oakland, California are being credited with stopping a potentially dangerous situation when they spotted an unusual item that someone tried to get past security.

A TSA spokesperson tweeted out a picture of an 8-inch dagger hidden inside a replica of the Eiffel Tower.

It was found in the carry-on bag of a 52-year-old woman traveling from Oakland to San Diego. She was interviewed and allowed to continue without the knife.

Yep, a dagger built into this replica Eiffel Tower. It didn't get past #TSA in Oakland. Perfect for checked baggage. pic.twitter.com/Q3MN0B9hCT
