Airport security is not something to be taken lightly. Even if there's a farting toy involved.

One devious toddler attempted to board a plane in Dublin while in possession of a "Minion Fart Blaster" — a diabolical toy which makes fart noises, emits a banana-like scent, and is apparently endorsed by Minions.

Thankfully, the Dublin Airport security apprehended the little deviant and confiscated the Fart Blaster to protect all plane travelers from an unnecessary Minion experience. And because they deemed the toy to be a security threat.

The airport confirmed to DailyEdge.ie that the toy had indeed been confiscated. The airport claimed that they had to "apply a consistent approach” when it comes to the airport's ban on any kind of replica gun, even if that gun is a toy gun that shoots farts.

Thankfully, the airport will hold the Fart Blaster for the toddler so he can pick it up on his return trip home.

And then the world domination by flatulence can commence.

Update, Aug. 18 12:15 PM: The owner of the Fart Blaster, Leo Fitzpatrick, has received a brand new Minion toy to replace the one that was confiscated. His mother, Daire Fitzpatrick thinks the whole ordeal is fairly absurd, and told Metro UK, "It’s just ridiculous [the toy] could be considered a weapon. I mean, would you shake with fear if I pointed a Minion's Fart Blaster at you? I said to the man it can’t be construed as a weapon and he said 'I know, but the button looks slightly trigger-like.'"

While the confiscation was slightly preposterous, the silver lining is that Leo has finally been reunited with a Minion Fart Blaster, and all is right with the world.
