The prop was wheeled up to the checkpoint in a wheelchair, then rolled through the X-ray machine.
People on Twitter had a little fun with the photos with many joking about long lines.
"Wow! I knew the lines were long but...this?" Twitter user Ed from the Bronx wrote.
"You sure that was a prop? Maybe the guy was in line a while?" Twitter user K.C. wrote.
The prop was originally used as a corpse in the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movie.
TSA didn't have any problems with the prop.
They posted on Instagram, "Talk about deadheading... This crusty ol' chap is actually a prop from the #TexasChainsawMassacre movie. Â He was brought through a checkpoint at the Atlanta (#ATL) International Airport, where as you can see, he was screened and sent on his jolly way. #TSAOnTheJob"
