Transportation Security Administration officials were left scratching their heads again after a cleaning crew found a stun gun on a JetBlue plane that landed late Friday in Newark.

According to the Associated Press, the stun gun was found by a crew that was cleaning Flight 1179 from Boston around 10:20 p.m. Friday, after the flight had landed and all 96 passengers were off the plane.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police removed the stun gun from the plane and gave it to the TSA, which is responsible for screening passengers.

The news comes hot on the heels of another incident in June where a Nigerian man boarded a Virgin America airplane with an invalid boarding pass.

In June, “Raising Hope” Actor Garret Dillahunt accidentally took a pocket knife through a TSA checkpoint and onto a plane.
