美国运输安全局特工在阿拉巴马州海湾海滨国际机场的例行安检中，于7月18日在乘客托运行李中发现5枚被盗的美国内战时期炮弹1。这些文物来自莫根堡历史遗迹，上面标有堡垒工作人员的油漆标记1。其中最大的炮弹尺寸约相当于葡萄柚，重量如铅球1。
一名少年将这些炮弹放入其祖母的行李箱中1。虽然炮弹不含爆炸物，但作为禁止登机的火炮弹药被安全部门没收1。参与查获的TSA特工Justin Dupree表示："我从未见过这样独特的东西。我见过惯性手榴弹和训练弹药，但从未经历过这种印第安纳·琼斯式被盗文物的情况。"1最终，莫根堡决定不提起指控，这些文物被返还1。
Transportation Security Administration officers uncovered five Civil War-era cannonballs hidden in a passenger's checked suitcase during a routine security screening at Gulf Shores Regional Airport in Alabama on July 18 1. The artifacts, which bore paint markings from Fort Morgan staff, had been stolen from the historic fortification 1.
A teenager had placed the cannonballs into his grandmother's checked baggage without her knowledge 1. The largest of the projectiles was roughly the size of a grapefruit and weighed approximately as much as a shot put 1. Although the cannonballs contained no explosives, they were confiscated as prohibited artillery ammunition under aviation security regulations 1. TSA Officer Justin Dupree remarked, "I had never seen anything quite this unique. I've seen inert grenades and training munitions but never an Indiana Jones-esque stolen artifact-type situation" 1.
Fort Morgan elected not to pursue charges against the teenager, and the historical artifacts were returned to the site 1.
