    Really, a bottle-opener shaped like a gun so small a toddler would have trouble holding it counts as a “firearm replica”?

      Also the tiny box of firecrackers as “82 FIREWORKS”

      It’s basically cop drug bust math

        But if you held all 82 of them in your hand and let them off you might end up with a missing finger … Nail.

        I’m kidding kids… don’t eat fireworks.

      Probably better to not allow these, then accidentally allow a real one which someone thought was a replica.

        You’d probably do more damage with the bottle opener than with a working gun that size.

      Yeah shouldn’t be carrying that stuff in a carry on. Do have to wonder why she thought it would be ok?

      Would love to hear her side of it.
