Clearly, this couple's love is pure dynamite. Unfortunately, the TSA is not cool with such explosive puns.

While traveling through the Denver International Airport on Sept. 22, TSA had to confiscate a bride and groom's stash of wedding favors from their checked bags, which looked like tiny barrels of TNT, complete with little, red, wax fuses.

#TSATravelTips - Be mindful of what you’re traveling with and what it might appear as on an X-ray monitor. These novelty bottles of bath salts topped with wax-covered lids and fuses were discovered in a checked bag at the Denver International Airport (DEN) and resulted in a 20-minute evacuation while bomb specialists cleared the items. What looked like possible explosives were just wedding souvenirs. The bride and groom’s names both start with "T"; thus "TNT.” A photo posted by TSA (@tsa) on Sep 30, 2015 at 5:19pm PDT

The incident caused a 20-minute evacuation while bomb specialists deliberated what was in the bottles. After an investigation, officials found out that they contained scented bath salts. The bride and groom’s names both start with 'T'," the TSA wrote on its official Instagram page.
