TSA officials also displayed antique nunchucks, a double-edged dagger and a razor-sharp throwing star. The agency showcased the stuff in honor of Curtis “Bob” Burns, the TSA’s former social-media director, who recently died at age 48. Burns earned a following for posting images of bizarre items along with captions packed with his specific style of dad humor. On the TSA blog, he shared a weekly count of firearms and summary of knives and other wacky items that travelers had stuffed into their bags, pockets, purses or briefcases. In his Webby acceptance speech, Burns shook the award and said, “This Webby is carry-on approved!”The TSA’s social-media presence now serves as a model for other federal agencies.
