Family buys souvenir grenade, puts in carryon luggage; security line shut down for 2 hours

That family sounds like an absolute blast

TSA took out and made me throw away my coca cola Thermal detenators from Galaxy's Edge.



I get what it looks like. But if it's empty it should be fine. It wasn't.

I feel the same for a used pinapple grenade. I have a couple and they cut the bottom so they can't be filled and they remove the explosives and the trigger. Its really a paper weight at that point.

i had a loaded mag for my 45 in a backpack i brought as a carry on. leftover from a random range day in an obscure pocket. they took all the ammo out and told me i could keep the mag if i could put it in my checked baggage but it woulda made me late for the flight so i told em to just toss it.

amazed they confiscated paper weights and a cocacola bottle but i guess the idea behind it is even if its not active you could still hold a plane hostage with it if they believed it was real?

It just seems best to avoid the high risk of a headache related to getting grenade like items through security checkpoint

Hopefully they don’t call in LAPD to deal with it

If you were in a duty free shop, weren’t you already through security?

In point of fact, those are not used.

Replica grenade led to charter bus evacuation, bomb threat call in Plano

Police X-ray confirms grenade was inert; passenger who owned the bag says it was a replica owned by his grandfather.

An inert replica grenade found in an abandoned bag led to the evacuation of a charter bus and a response from the Plano bomb squad on Monday morning.

According to police, they were called to a gas station near the corner of Spring Creek Parkway and U.S. Highway 75, where a Flixbus charter bus had stopped in the parking lot.

Police said Monday afternoon the driver discovered the bag while loading passengers and their luggage. When the driver opened the bag, he reported finding a grenade inside.

The driver called the police and the Plano Police Department's Hazardous Devices Unit responded. The bus was evacuated and traffic was stopped on adjacent roads while police investigated the device.

From Texas Sky Ranger, just before noon, a member of the bomb squad was seen working near the bag while wearing a blast suit.

Meanwhile, officials confirmed that the bag belonged to a passenger from the previous day. The passenger was contacted and he told officials the grenade was an inert war replica that had belonged to his grandfather.
