The Strangest Banned Item

While it’s common knowledge why firearms, knives, and gas canisters are banned items as in-flight baggage, one of the strangest prohibitions is the snow globe. Why would such a lovely contraption of festive joy be banned from going on a flight?

That’s because the liquid inside the globe can be easily swapped out for something explosive. Noting this, airport security has opted to ban it from onboard luggage. Joining the snow globe as one of the strangest banned items is a magic 8 ball, English Christmas crackers, and cooking spray. But bowling balls and the bodies of bugs are allowed.
