UPDATE 9/3/19: The Transportation Security Administration says it's actually fine to bring the thermal detonator-shaped Stars Wars bottles on board a plane.

"We have completed our review, and instructed our officers to treat these as an oversized liquid," the TSA said in a statement last week. "Because these bottles contain liquids larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters), they should be put in checked baggage or emptied to be brought on as carry-on item."

However, the TSA also noted: "TSA officers will maintain the discretion to prohibit any item through the screening checkpoint if they believe it poses a security threat."

Original story:

It's not just the MacBook Pro you may have trouble flying with. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has now banned some special edition Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, and Sprite bottles sold at Disneyland due to the way they look.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a themed area located within Disneyland Park at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. As well as experiencing a slice of the Star Wars universe, visitors can purchase items including bottles of Coca-Cola and Sprite shaped like a thermal detonator. It's these that the TSA takes issue with when flying.

Thanks for asking! Replica and inert explosives aren't allowed in either carry-on or checked bags. — AskTSA (@AskTSA) August 13, 2019

As CNET reports, Twitter user Ash Best asked the TSA if it was acceptable to put these special edition bottles in a suitcase. The TSA responded by stating "replica or inert explosives" aren't allowed, even in carry-on bags.

I doubt these bottles are cheap to buy at Disneyland, but they are sure to be popular with kids. Just be warned that if you try to fly with them the TSA is likely to confiscate the bottles and leave you with some very unhappy children for the flight home.

If you need to fly home but are determined to keep these collectible bottles, then your best option is to post them separately. Keeping the cost of shipping down can easily be achieved by drinking the contents first.
