Galaxy’s Edge Coke bottles (the round ones)

I read earlier that you can’t take these on your flight.
Absolutely gutted, was hoping to take some home as souvenirs. I am sure plenty of others want to do the same.
Then someone mentioned on Instagram that you can pack them in your case... if the lid is off and it’s empty (of course).
Would be interested to know if anyone takes one home.
I totally understand it’s for our safety.

I think this is one of those things that’s going to get multiple answers
And boils down to do you want to take the risk or if the folks in front
Have them in there carry ions at security are you the person who post about=the horrific que having to take everything out your carry on bag etc etc
I personally can see the que at security in the way home at MCO being even more manic
Loads of posts o; social media about cases being opened stuff going astray etc
But after 25 years of US travel it boils down to if they guy looking at your bags is on the balll couldn’t care less or=a jobs worth that wants to give you;the full lecture
In the end it’s your choice but don’t winge if they don’t make it home

FYI there is a normal coke bottle lid under the plastic top, I'd just remove the very top piece

TSA say they're banned, lots of people have got them home both in carry on and checked cases. Not much more to be said on it really.

I did wonder if this was the case.

Officially, the TSA has confirmed that they classify these as "replica explosives" and have therefore banned them (yes, I know, it's crazy). However, people have brought them home with them in their suitcases without any issues.

This is going to turn into something similar to the whole "middle names on the ESTA" debate, isn't it? The official answer being one thing whereas what happens in practice being another.

Yes that's what I thought, although I am guilty of asking re middle name on ESTA!

Choice is up to the person. Bring it home and risk it or just not bother
