Farbstein said police allowed the woman to toss the pot and catch her flight.
According to TSA policy, marijuana and certain cannabis infused products, including some Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, remain illegal under federal law except for products that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis or that are approved by FDA.
TSA officers are required to report any suspected violations of law to local, state or federal authorities.
