If you're considering purchasing video game collectibles during your travels, exercise caution when packing items resembling Call of Duty weaponry in your luggage.

A recent TSA social media post serves as a stark reminder about restricted items. As reported by Dexerto, the security agency's Facebook page showcased a confiscated Monkey Bomb replica from Call of Duty's Zombies mode, discovered in checked baggage at Boston Logan International Airport.

The iconic Monkey Bomb (or Cymbal Monkey) has appeared across multiple Call of Duty titles from World at War to Black Ops 6. While this particular figurine functions as a controller stand with outstretched arms to hold gaming peripherals, its explosive-like appearance with dynamite and wiring triggered security concerns.

"This monkey might score points in-game, but leave such items off your packing list," the TSA advised. "Replica weapons and explosives - regardless of their collectible value - are prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage."

The TSA's official guidelines explicitly prohibit toy weapons including water guns, foam dart blasters, imitation swords, or any items resembling real firearms. Ironically, this incident highlights the impressive realism of the Monkey Bomb replica.

Travelers attending conventions or purchasing merchandise should review TSA regulations carefully. Whether it's gaming memorabilia like this monkey figure or cosplay accessories such as anime-inspired throwing knives, security officials may confiscate any item they deem potentially dangerous - even clearly fake replicas - from both checked and carry-on luggage.
