If you’re planning to bring home video game-inspired souvenirs during your travels, you might want to reconsider packing anything resembling a Call of Duty weapon in your luggage. This advice comes from a recent post by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which highlighted an incident involving a replica figurine of the Monkey Bomb from Call of Duty’s Zombies mode. Officers at Boston Logan International Airport discovered this item in a traveler’s checked baggage.

The Monkey Bomb, or Cymbal Monkey, has been a recurring feature in several Call of Duty games, from World at War to Black Ops 6. This particular figurine was designed as a controller stand, with its arms extended to hold a gaming controller. However, its appearance closely resembles a weapon with explosives and wires attached, making it a potential cause for concern.
“This monkey may earn you points in a game, but in reality, leave the gear for your virtual battles and keep it out of your luggage,” the TSA post advised. “Replica weapons and explosives, regardless of their collectible value, are strictly prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage.”
The TSA website further explains that toy weapons, such as squirt guns, Nerf guns, toy swords, or items resembling realistic firearms, are also banned. While this might serve as a nod to the quality of the Monkey Bomb replica, it’s worth noting that the TSA prohibits any item in checked or carry-on baggage if it poses a security risk—even if it’s just a replica.This is especially important to keep in mind if you’re attending conventions or visiting places where you might purchase merchandise. Whether it’s a Monkey Bomb figurine or a set of Naruto-themed throwing knives, the TSA advises travelers to exercise caution and avoid packing items that could be mistaken for real weapons.
