AP - A man trying to board a Los Angeles-bound flight was arrested after an eight-inch dagger was found inside one of his shoes.
Vincent P Rosso was stopped at Newark Liberty International Airport on Monday when a federal screener told his supervisor that Rosso appeared to be concealing a dagger in either his coat or sneakers.
The dagger was detected when the items went through an X-ray machine, said Tony Ciavolella, a Port Authority spokesman.
The weapon was found in a cavity in the sole of Rosso's left sneaker during a subsequent inspection.
Rosso, 25, was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. He posted $US10,000 ($A14,600) bail and was released.
Officials do not believe Rosso has any terrorist links, but the FBI is reviewing the case.
