According to The Guardian, marmite is one of the most commonly confiscated items at the London airport. The top 10 include snowglobes, olive oil, wine, nutella and furry handcuffs.

That's where the Transportation Security Administration's surprisingly entertaining Instagram account comes in. Check out this list of some of the weirdest things the TSA has confiscated.
