Short on good Instagram feeds to follow? Well, the Transportation Security Administration certainly has a colorful new account.

Peppered with images of Bowie knifes, handguns, grenades, and more, this account specifically features "prohibited items found at TSA checkpoints."

The TSA recently opened its Instagram account and posted its first photo on Saturday. The inaugural image is a collage of fireworks with the statement "#Fireworks don't fly. (On planes)." One of the photos in the collage also shows brass knuckles.  Other images in the feed include a bayonet and throwing knife discovered at the Long Beach airport, a loaded firearm found in a carry-on bag at the Austin airport, a derringer handgun discovered at the Charleston airport, and a stun gun disguised as a pack of cigarettes found at the Cleveland airport.
