If you're considering purchasing video game-inspired replicas or figurines during your travels, it's crucial to be cautious about packing items that resemble Call of Duty weapons in your luggage. This advice stems from a recent post by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) about prohibited items. As reported by Dexerto, the TSA's Facebook account showcased a replica figurine of the Monkey Bomb from Call of Duty's Zombies mode, discovered in a checked bag at Boston Logan International Airport.

The Monkey Bomb, also known as the Cymbal Monkey, has been featured in various Call of Duty titles, from World at War to Black Ops 6. This specific figurine is designed as a controller holder, with its hands outstretched to support your game controller. However, it also mimics a weapon with dynamite and cables attached, which raises concerns.
"This monkey may rack up points in a game, but in real life, leave the gear for your loadout screen, not your baggage," the TSA post advised. "Replica weapons and explosives, no matter how cool or collectible, aren't allowed in either carry-on or checked baggage."
The TSA's website further elaborates on prohibited toy weapons, which include "squirt guns, Nerf guns, toy swords, or other items that resemble realistic firearms or weapons." This highlights the quality of the Monkey Bomb replica, albeit in a context that could be seen as a warning.It's important to keep this in mind if you're attending a convention or visiting a location where you might acquire such merchandise. Whether it's a monkey figurine or a set of Naruto-themed throwing knives, the TSA prohibits any item in checked or carry-on baggage that they believe poses a security threat, even if it's just a replica.
