If you've been on an international flight lately, you'll know that restrictions on carry-on items are easing ever so slightly.

Sure, you still have to put liquids in those zip-loc bags, but it was a damn sight worse a few years ago. However, bringing sharp objects as carry-on for a flight is still considered a big no-no. Unfortunately, someone flying out of San Juan Luis Munoz Airport in Puerto Rico didn't realise it.

In a recent post by the TSA's official blog, they posted a story about someone who attempted to bring a Klingon bat'leth onto a flight. Yes, that sword-thing used by Lt. Commander Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The item, which was put in a carry-on bag, was confiscated by the TSA and posted to their site. It wasn't the first time, either. A similar-looking item was recovered in New Jersey's LaGuardia Airport in 2012 that looked almost identical to the one above.

The TSA also reported that a number of Batarangs - those are the boomerangs Batman uses - were recovered numerous times throughout 2015, making quite an impressive little collection of nerd weaponry.
