The TSA has successfully protected America from a giant teddy bear and it wants America to know all about it.

The agency posted an Instagram photo of the pathetic-looking large toy slumped over near a garbage can at the Los Angeles airport.

“Why does this gigantic teddy bear look so sad?” the caption reads. “He was abandoned by his owners at LAX after the airline and TSA determined that he was just too big to be screened as a carry-on and taken on the plan.”

The TSA then attempted to make light of seizing a child’s toy.

“If you see this wayward bear strolling the streets of LA, please feel free to feed him.”

Last year, the TSA seized a toy gun from a child.

CBS 4 reported in November 2015:

A Pennsylvania father is upset at TSA agents in Fort Lauderdale who confiscated his 5-year-old son’s Buzz Lightyear toy because they said it looked too much like a gun.

Levi Zilka’s uncle bought him the Buzz Lightyear “Flip Grip” on his first trip to Disney World. …

But the souvenir that meant so much to Levi was just the thing that caught the attention of the TSA at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport who stopped the two.

“We couldn’t go on the plane yet because they said it looks too much like a gun and you can’t bring guns on the plane,” said Levi Zilka.

According to the TSA website, realistic replicas of firearms must be checked.  David and Levi only packed carry-ons for their trip.

“Once he realized what was happening, that they weren’t giving his toy back, he immediately starts bawling, just tears streaming down his face, crying,” Zilka said.
