The James Bond star was heading out of the Burlington International Airport when a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) agent noticed a knife in Brosnan's carry-on bag as he was going through security.

A TSA official tells TMZ.com that they pulled his luggage aside and gave Brosnan the option to either surrender the sharp object or pack it in his checked baggage, and he opted for the latter.

The agent tells the website Brosnan was not arrested or cited for the incident and made his way to the flight.

The actor has yet to comment on the story.
