Narrative:
Flight attendants discovered a passenger had brought on board personal oxygen. This oxygen was liquid oxygen. I contacted air carrier medical; plus customer service rep; and dangerous goods department. Liquid oxygen on board was not approved (fom 13.10.16). Canister was removed from aircraft and placed in lost and found. Seems to me this type item should not have gotten through security.
