Christopher Locke of Heartless Machine took scissors confiscated by the TSA from travelers at the airport and turned them into this spider sculpture!

"In the past year, the Transportation Security Administration has confiscated over 8 million items, including guns, knives, narcotics, cuticle scissors, mousse, pudding, and bottled water.  I have obtained some of the TSA-confiscated scissors, and they inspired me.

The TSA officially allows scissors with blades less than four inches.  But the individual officers have the authority to disallow anything they think poses a potential threat.  These scissors all belong in that grey area between what should  be allowed on the plane, and what wasn't  allowed.

I've cut the scissors up, bent them, and welded them back together into spiders."
