Misc Air Canada took away my bullet keychain...

Security guy said it looked like a replica bullet. It literally was a rifle slug with a hole drilled sideways through it and a key ring on it.

Woke crap. No wonder they're all scared. They don't know anything about bullets...

Security guy is an idiot. Is it worth the hassle to debate - probably not for a cheap item like that.

The security guy didn't write the regulations

Point me to a regulation that talks about “replica bullets”? I will wait.

You are right. Also, wow that’s a stupid rule for something that can be easily verified as inert

Dude, a full plastic bright orange vaguely gun shaped kids toy can get blocked by security.  Inert doesn't mean shit.

It doesn't really bother me that much, I can understand why it's a hard and fast rule and you can always toss it in your checked baggage.

Though I do fear the day I accidentally bring live ammo with me.

One time after getting my car detailed I got some strange looks when picking it up because I had a bunch of ammo in my centre leftover from hunting season.
