TSA officers find crystalline methamphetamine in breakfast burrito at Houston Hobby Airport

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK): These days you can add a lot of ingredients to your breakfast burritos, but in general methamphetamine is not one of them.

However, that didn’t stop TSA agents from finding him exactly during a checkpoint at Hobby Airport on April 2nd.

The TSAs said they were doing a routine check when they noticed an unidentified lump inside a traveler’s breakfast burrito.

The size of the burrito was so unusual that TSA asked to inspect it further and asked the traveler to unwrap it.

Officers said the person tried to insist it was just breakfast.

Once the wrapper was opened, authorities said they saw something dark and unusual in the middle of the food that did not match the description the passenger was making.

As the breakfast burrito passed the x-ray for a second scan, TSA agents saw what appeared to be dark, dark tape surrounding a large organic mass.

Suspecting it was something illegally hidden in the food, TSA called Houston police, who determined it was crystal methamphetamine.

HPD confiscated the drug and the passenger was arrested.
