NEW YORK, NY – TSA officers arrested a Rhode Island man at JFK International Airport in New York City after they noticed his jars of creamy Jif peanut butter looked particularly crunchy.

It wasn’t because they were peanuts.

After inspecting the jars, the TSA found the man attempting to smuggle gun parts inside the resealed jars.

The man, whose name was not released was arrested by officers of the Port Authority NJ/NY Police Department.

He did not make his flight as scheduled and will probably miss the Christmas party he was bringing his gun-laden jars of peanut butter to.
