— -- One dynamite couple sparked a 20-minute evacuation at the Denver International Airport when a TSA agent spotted what looked like bottles of TNT in a passenger’s checked luggage last month, authorities said.

Turns out the potential explosives were actually wedding favors -- bath salts meant to be added to warm water, packaged with faux fuses and labeled “TNT,” a play on the couple’s initials, which both begin with T, according to the TSA.

“Be mindful of what you’re traveling with and what it might appear as on an X-ray monitor,” the agency said on Instagram.

Here’s wishing the couple a happy life together -- and hoping the only fireworks at their wedding came during their first kiss, not their first flight.
