Oklahoma County, Canadian County, Cleveland County, Pottawatomie County. Oklahoma City police have gone viral after reminding air travelers on Facebook to leave their World War II-era grenades at home. This week, a 44-year-old man attempted to check a couple of inactive German stick grenades at Will Rogers World Airport, (aeroporto) the Oklahoma City Police Department posted Thursday. The man declared the grenades with United Airlines when he checked his bag, according to OKCPD Sgt. Dillon Quirk, but the Transportation Security Administration raised an alarm when the bag was screened. The TSA’s bomb tech and dog confirmed the grenades were not live and operations resumed at the airport after about 30 minutes. The traveler took custody of the grenades and rebooked his flight, Quirk said. “Just a friendly reminder from your local PD, checking hand grenades for your flight at the airport is a surefire way to make your vacation a bust!” the department posted. “Let’s stick to packing socks and snacks, shall we? Your fellow passengers will thank you, and so will airport security!” The Transportation Security Administration provides an exhaustive list of what items can and cannot be packed in checked or carry-on baggage. Toy guns or weapons that do not resemble realistic firearms can be packed in checked bags. Hand grenades, both real and replicas are prohibited in checked or packed in carry-on bags.
