TSA CONFISCATES CHARGER MISTAKEN FOR CALL OF DUTY MONKEY BOMB

Apr 26, 2025 4:17 PM

A recent incident involving the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has sparked interest in Call of Duty fandom. A traveler attempted to bring a Monkey Bomb replica, resembling the in-game distraction device, in their checked luggage, which led to its seizure at a Boston airport. The TSA humorously noted the "What the frag?!?" moment when discovering the replica, emphasizing that such items, while entertaining in games, aren't permitted in real life. The TSA's post has generated significant online engagement, with mixed reactions regarding the validity of seizing a toy. Additionally, Activision has announced a new feature for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, allowing players to opt-out of crossplay with PC gamers, aiming to reduce cheating incidents in multiplayer modes.

What are the new crossplay features in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?

The latest update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 allows players to disable crossplay with PC users across all multiplayer modes, a feature previously available only in ranked matches. This change is intended to enhance the gaming experience for console players by minimizing the potential for cheating.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a significant entry in the long-running franchise, known for its immersive single-player campaigns and competitive multiplayer modes. The series has evolved over the years, integrating various gameplay mechanics and features that resonate with its community, maintaining its status as one of the top-selling franchises in the gaming industry.

Gotta respect the TSA’s sense of humor—next time, maybe just pack a care package instead of a Monkey Bomb. And console players finally getting PC-free lobbies in Black Ops 6 That’s a win for anyone tired of suspiciously perfect headshots.

Love that the TSA had a 'What the frag' moment over a Monkey Bomb—somebody clearly took their Zombies loadout too seriously. Meanwhile, Black Ops 6 letting console players ditch PC crossplay is a smart move; fewer cheaters means more fun in the trenches.
