TSA Seizes Call Of Duty Monkey Bomb
23The TSA is well-known for its sometimes-questionable decision-making when it comes to what can and cannot fly. This week, one Call Of Duty fan found out the hard way that replica bombs are one of the many items that cannot be brought onto an aircraft… even if said replica looks more like a monkey than a bomb.
In a recent post on the official Transport Security Administration Facebook page, the TSA revealed it had confiscated a replica Monkey Bomb from a passenger at Boston Logan International Airport. The item in question is, of course, not a real bomb, but a replica of the amusing monkey-based grenade featured in a number of Call Of Duty titles, including Black Ops 6.
"On today's episode of Prohibited Items Week, we present Call of Duty: Baggage Ops," the TSA shared on Facebook. "Our officers at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) had a 'What the frag?!?' moment when they discovered this replica explosive device in a passenger's checked bag. This monkey may rack up points in a game, but in real life, leave the gear for your loadout screen, not your baggage. Replica weapons and explosives, no matter how cool or collectible, aren't allowed in either carry-on or checked baggage."
According to TSA's guidelines on toy guns and weapons, these types of toys are "generally permitted" and are recommended to be packed in checked baggage. However, toy swords, items that resemble realistic firearms, and replica explosives, such as hand grenades, are prohibited in both checked and carry-on baggage. It also emphasized that TSA officers have the discretion to seize any item through the screening checkpoint if they believe that it poses a security threat. So, even a 3D-printed replica of Call of Duty Zombies' Acid Gat Kit will likely get confiscated if a fan tries to travel with it.
