Two inert grenades caused a halt to a Hawaii airport on Tuesday, after security personnel spotted them inside the bag of a Japanese man who was detained and released pending investigation.
It is also possible that the grenades were realistic replicas. The Transportation Security Administration prohibits replicas of explosives, including hand grenades, in checked or carry-on luggage.
Police spokesperson Denise Laitinen said Wednesday she didn’t have additional information about the grenades being inert.
