Strange Item Found in Checked Bag at Texas Airport [VIDEO]

It seriously looks like a kindergartener packed Play-Doh. 

Over at the Houston International airport, the TSA was in for quite the surprise. A computer went through their scanner and something didn't look right. So they cracked open the computer and inside was a huge wad of Play-Doh. That's awfully strange, why is that in there.

Turns out whoever did this was trying to hide a 9mm pistol. The TSA sent this picture out and I learned that you can actually check a gun at an airport. They have to alert the agent of a gun in your bag, it needs to be unloaded and properly packed. I had no idea that they would let you fly with a gun in today's airports, the more you know.
