Those ‘thermal detonator’ Coke bottles at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge won’t fly with TSA

Heads up, Disney travelers: Those Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge “thermal detonator” Coke and Sprite bottles look cool, but they won’t fly with airport security. 

After a traveler tweeted at the official @AskTSA account, wondering if the “dodgy”-looking souvenir items would be allowed in a suitcase, the account responded that they aren’t allowed on planes, regardless of where they’re packed in checked or carry-on luggage.

The Transportation Security Administration doesn’t allow “replica and inert explosives” in “either carry-on or checked bags,” TSA public affairs representative Thomas Kelly confirmed to USA TODAY. 

In the “Star Wars” films, “thermal detonators are grenade-like weapons that pack tremendous explosive power into a small sphere, and are used by bounty hunters and military forces such as the Empire’s stormtroopers,” according to the franchise’s website.
