Chicago O’Hare International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. The airport in Illinois saw 48.3 million passengers in the first seven months of 2025. The airport is known as the most connected airport in the United States. Last week, officials at the airport took away some very strange items from a passenger coming from Congo.
According to CBS News, the traveler’s bag was full of illegal items that were later destroyed. The bag weighed a lot because it had 11 pounds of beans that were infected with pests. It also had 17 pounds of unknown plants. But that wasn’t all. Customs and Border Protection officials found something much more shocking inside the bag.
