To check the baggage or not, TSA has something to say

Hand grenades and atomic bombs are supposed to travel as checked baggage only. On the other hand, knives and swords could be allowed onboard as carryon items.
Having said so, the reality is that anyone carrying a fictitious weapon (knife, gun, grenade, etc) is supposed to be treated as if (s)he is carrying a real weapon.
Simply put, a fictitious handgun will create the same effect like a real one if seen at the hand of any one at a bank or in an aircraft.
