The TSA recently confiscated a replica Monkey Bomb from a passenger at Boston Logan International Airport. Despite being a playful item from the Call Of Duty video game series, it was deemed a prohibited item. The monkey bomb, associated with Black Ops 6, was designed to hold electronic accessories but included fake explosives, making it fall under TSA's regulations against replicas of weaponry in both carry-on and checked luggage. Travelers must mail such items to their destination instead.
"On today's episode of #ProhibitedItemsWeek, we present Call of Duty: Baggage Ops. 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."
"Replica weapons and explosives, no matter how cool or collectible, aren't allowed in either carry-on or checked baggage."
"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."
"Anyone who wants to travel with their monkey-based replica explosive (and all other replica weapons) will have to mail those items to their final destination."
