TSA Cautions Against Flying with Call of Duty Monkey Bomb Toy

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently issued a warning about bringing video game-related merchandise in your travel baggage, specifically mentioning a replica Monkey Bomb figurine from the popular Call of Duty: Zombies mode. The TSA highlighted an incident at Logan International Airport, where this collectible item, which resembles a weapon with dynamite attached, was discovered in a checked bag. They reiterated that replica weapons and explosives are prohibited in both carry-on and checked baggage, emphasizing the importance of adhering to security regulations while traveling. This notice serves as a reminder for gamers to leave any game gear behind when flying, regardless of how collectible or cool it may seem.

The Monkey Bomb, or Cymbal Monkey, has been a recurring item in Call of Duty games, appearing from World at War through to the upcoming Black Ops 6 set to release on October 25, 2024. This iconic figurine not only serves as a collectible for fans but is also integrated into gameplay, where it distracts enemies, making it a favorite among players. Given its popularity, players should be aware of travel restrictions to avoid any issues during their trips.
