When police arrived, the man allegedly became aggressive and resisted arrest.
The man was eventually detained.
"Brisbane Airport's screening processes are strict for a reason and there is a zero-tolerance policy to anyone attempting to take prohibited items on a flight," AFP Detective Superintendent Anthony Conway said.
"During this incident, airport security and the AFP worked together to prevent a potential threat to the travelling public and workers."
The man was charged with one count of carrying a weapon through a screening point, one count of obstructing a Commonwealth official, and one count of public nuisance.
The combined maximum penalty for the three offences is nine-and-a-half-years imprisonment.
He is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court today.

The AFP encourages travellers at Australian airports to report any suspicious behaviour, like individuals avoiding screening, leaving bags unattended, taking photos of security measures, and exhibiting erratic behaviour.
