American woman arrested after throwing away massive supply of bullets in Tokyo airport trash can
In airport in Tokyo
100 rounds
.22 caliber handgun ammunition ( possibly 22 LR ? )
she had unknowingly brought the bullets from America, having forgotten to remove them from her bag and not noticing them until after arriving in Japan.
The police are also launching an investigation into how the contraband slipped by immigration and customs officials.
Were these in her carry-on? If so, TSA needs a review too.
