Can I Bring Shell Casings on a Plane to United States?

Shell Casings
Restrictions Apply
According to TSA guidelines, empty shell casings are allowed in carry-on bag as long as the projectile is no longer intact. They are allowed only if the primer has been removed or has been discharged. If the projectile is attached & the powder has been drilled out, it is considered a replica and not allowed in carry-on.
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official TSA Rules →
