The roughly 100 pounds of pot was detected in Terminal 1 about 5:15 a.m. in suitcases and wrapped with green cellophane and gift paper with a cupcake print, Nico Melendez of the TSA said.
The passengers to whom the bags belonged never got on their Air Tran flight, which was going to Atlanta, he said, adding that law enforcement officers had yet to track them down.
