MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- A man was arrested Monday at Miami International Airport because he was carrying a razor blade and a hacksaw blade in his shoe, police said.

David McIntyre, who was traveling with his wife and children, told authorities he forgot the blades were in his shoe, said police Detective Joey Giordano.

Police didn't know why he had the blades in his shoe.

Alarms sounded when McIntyre tried to pass through a metal detector, and security screeners asked him to remove his shoes and found the blades, officials said.

McIntyre, 38, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Officials said they didn't believe the arrest had anything to do with stepped-up law enforcement presence in the airport for the holidays or the Department of Homeland Security's increase in the national threat level.
