No. Airport security agencies will treat all military ordinances, including deactivated or imitation, as active.
Deactivated devices (e.g. empty shells) where the explosives have been removed, and imitations are also prohibited.
Military ordinances are weapons developed for the military, and include grenades, mines, mortars, and smoke canisters.
Military ordinances are not lawfully permitted to be possessed by members of the public.
All military ordinances are strictly forbidden from carriage on an aircraft.
Note: We do not recommend passengers take toy explosives (e.g., grenades) when they travel as this will result in your bag being searched and may result in the toy removed. The carriage of toy explosives will also create delays as your bag will likely need to be opened to verify that the item is safe.
Military ordinances are weapons developed for the military, and include grenades, mines, mortars and smoke canisters.
If you are found in possession of military ordinance, active, deactivated, or an imitation:
Leave deactivated or imitation military ordinances at home.
You will be asked to relinquish all dangerous or prohibited items found in your carry-on luggage. If you refuse:
AvSec x-ray bags going onto aircraft to ensure there is nothing dangerous in them. If something comes up on the x-ray that needs checking, the bag will be opened, searched and any dangerous good or prohibited item will be removed, with a bag search notification form left within the bag.
If you want to retrieve an item that has been removed, please contact your airline as soon as possible. The airline will dispose of items within three to seven days, so the sooner you make contact, the better your chance of having the items returned to you. For more information, see:
