If you're planning to grab video game-inspired replicas or collectibles during your travels, consider carefully before packing anything resembling a Call of Duty weapon.
This advice comes from a recent Transportation Security Administration (TSA) post about prohibited items, as noted by Dexerto. The TSA's Facebook page featured an image of a replica Monkey Bomb figurine from the Zombies mode in Call of Duty, discovered by officers at Boston Logan International Airport inside a checked bag.

This specific figurine serves as a controller rest, with hands extended to hold your gamepad securely. However, it also mimics the in-game weapon, complete with dynamite and cables attached.
"This monkey might score points in-game, but in real life, keep it out of your baggage," the post stated. "Replica weapons and explosives are prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage, regardless of how cool or collectible they appear."
The TSA website further clarifies rules for toy weapons, listing items such as "squirt guns, Nerf guns, toy swords, or other objects resembling realistic firearms." This detailed policy may actually serve as effective advertising for the intricate design of the Monkey Bomb replica.This is useful information if you are attending a convention or shopping for merchandise abroad. Whether it's a monkey figurine or Naruto-themed throwing knives, the TSA prohibits any item in checked or carry-on bags if deemed a potential security threat, even if it is merely a replica.
