A Saudi man was busted at JFK Airport after the Transportation Security Administration spotted a stun gun and four other weapons in his checked bag, sources said yesterday.
Mohamed Hefni, 54, was arrested in a first-class lounge at JFK at 4 p.m. Thursday after agents found the contraband in his luggage before he could board his Saudi Airlines flight to Riyadh, authorities said.
TSA Agent Ann Marie McLewd initially spotted the outline of weapons inside a black bag that Hefni had checked — and a peek inside the luggage by TSA Agent Phillip Desnyo revealed a fully operable battery-powered electric stun gun.
Desnyo also found three “electric stun batons,” an “electric stun pen” and a large can of pepper spray in the bag authorities said.
Hefni, who had been living on theUpper East Side, was arrested by Port Authority cops on misdemeanor weapons charges.

And why is this news? he wasn’t taking on the plane it was in his luggage
How come he was at the lounge and not arrested at the check point.
Stun guns are illegal in the following states:
CONNECTICUT, ILLINOIS, HAWAII, MASSACHUSETTS, MICHIGAN, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, RHODE ISLAND, WISCONSIN. Maybe he should have been arrested by NYC Cops or NYS Police for transporting the Stun guns. Scary stuff ain’t it?
But the FBI have to apologize for their true muslim comment! huh??
#3, Are stun guns really illegal in NY? Good grief, no stun guns, no pepper spray and dare I add, no guns. So much for self defense options in NY. Thank G-d, I don’t live there.
