Carry on? Will it fit in the overhead?

[Brellium]

Possibly... I’m sure it could make room if it needed.

[Nifster]

Americans can be so stupid

[skeeter]

OK its wasn’t “American Tourists” it was the “child of American Tourists” or just “a child”.

That does make the story sound a bit different.

The tourists just stood saying What , what’s problem ?

“Look kids, Wailing Wall...Temple Mount...”

The level of stupid to bring that thing into any airport, especially in Israel, is nearly incomprehensible.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Yeah...lol.

No doubt a Biden voter. I can hear them now: “Oh, surely you don’t want this old thing, whatever it is. A guy wearing a kufi sold it to us at half price!”

[lgjhn23]

Most likely: BidenVoters.
No one else could possibly be that idiotically STUPID.

Back in the 80s in Utah there was a story about people camping near the national guard base. They found an M79 grenade round lying on the ground and decided to put in the campfire to see what would happen. After a bit there was an explosion. It was the propellant charge going off. As they walked to the fire the grenade itself cooked off and blew the crap out of them. No one died but they got shrapnel.

A few weeks later there’s a woman in my MIL’s kitchen talking about this. She was one of the fools who got blown up. Lol. She was all excited about the millions they were going to get suing the NG.

A few months later there was a trial and the verdict came in. The jury held the NG 2% responsible. Lol. The $ didn’t even cover the court costs. LOLOL. Morons.

[Seruzawa]

The level of stupid of even going near the thing boggles the mind.

[Leaning Right]

Wow. I guess I was just lucky getting my souvenir bazooka through airport security without any fuss.
