Officers quickly found that the grenade launcher was not a functioning weapon, but a replica.

Hmmm. Usually, TSA can be forgiving when you bring a personal weapon accidentally. Depending on the local police, they can let you return it to your car or give it to a family member who isn’t traveling with you ( based on my experience at a Florida airport recently).
RPG’s are a different matter. It was no accident. And that a-hole should go to federal prison for a while. And never be allowed to fly in the US again. Just MHO.

Since it’s a “replica”, why doesn’t the Headline say it’s a REPLICA?
