TSA reminds passengers: don't bring grenades or rocket launchers on planes

It might seem obvious, but don’t bring explosives or devices that shoot explosives on airplanes. Even if they're just replicas, it's still a bad idea.

The TSA recently tweeted out two photos of items that passengers attempted to bring onto planes with them. Based on the information, it does not appear that either traveler intended to use these items for no good, but they were still clearly against regulations.

Travel Alert:: Please to stow thermonuclear weapons in approved overhead bins only. All biological weapons of mass destruction must be reported to gate agent and carried in approved containers only. No sippie cups.

Note to self regarding this.

but what if you want to get a really good grope?

[a fool in paradise]

What about bath bombs?

[Jaded]

Duh

[Ed Condon]

With the thousands of airline flights each day, what are your chances of being on one that a passenger has a bomb?

The odds of two passengers having a bomb must be astronomical.

So to swing things in your favor, carry your own bomb.

Hmmm, I guess it’s been awhile since I’ve flown. Things have changed.

Damn - now I’ll have to drive or take bloody Amtrak.

[antidemoncrat]

TSA is taking all the fun out of flying.

Since when could the TSA afford to hire rocket scientists.

[BitWielder1]

Well they didn't say grenades or rocket launchers specifically so how was I to know?
Just some vague reference to explosives and weapons. Didn't make the connection. /s

Private Baldrick told us about that when he carved his name on his bullet! Since he was hardly likely to shoot himself, he’d be safe when he went over the top!

I always wear pineapple grenades on a tac vest when I fly.

No I’m lying

[Drango]

Dang it...Goes into other room and starts unpacking.

[mewzilla]

What about fruitcake??

[Hieronymus]

This is the urban equivalent of the “Don’t pet the bobcat” thread that was up the other day. Or maybe that is “Don’t stop for gas on MLK Blvd.”

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

[faithhopecharity]

gee, how thoughtful of tsa to remind us of this!

i guess we’ll have to stash our grenades in the 25 cent lockers at the airport, instead

???

just kidding, we haven’t flown since they started groping the passengers
