Just imagine the moral panic that would ensue if people were fondling Luke's pet walrus-cow.
And the number of Disney guests who would be forced to register as s-- offenders.

meanwhile the stormtroopers walking around the land are allowed to hold toy guns and even aim them at guest when they stop them.This news is coming out of Disneyland, but it will impact WDW within a few days after Star Wars Land opens at DHS.
The TSA has now banned all of the Coca-Cola 'Thermal Detonator' bottles sold in Star Wars Land from being brought on any US flight in either checked or carry-on baggage. Disneyland tourists have learned the hard way this summer at SoCal airports that the bottles must be surrendered at the screening points if they are found by TSA agents in either checked or carry-on luggage.

TSA officials confirmed that the souvenir collectible Coke bottles exclusively available in the new Star Wars lands are prohibited on U.S. flights because they look like replica explosives. “Replica items are not allowed on aircraft,” said TSA spokesperson Jim Gregory.
The Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite bottles were designed to look like the spherical explosive weapons used by bounty hunters and stormtroopers in the Star War universe. “The design of this thing just looks cool,” Walt Disney Imagineering portfolio creative executive Scott Trowbridge said when the bottles were unveiled in April. “Kind of thermal detonator-ish. It’s kind of awesome.”
I hadn't thought about it until now, but Disney banned all toy guns from its theme parks some time ago because they didn't want to be associated with violence and killing. But fake grenades, "thermal detonators", that tout a corporate sponsor are apparently okay to sell at Disneyland and Disney World?
That's kind of an interesting place to draw a line in the sand; toy guns are bad, toy grenades are fine! But I have to assume these Coke products will soon be redesigned to be something else. Get 'em while you can!

Just so anyone is aware..The design of the bottle was used several years ago for the holidays..
But, I guess the TSA don't take it too lightly...The old slogan surely fits this..

I returned from DL last Friday to Europe and had 2 of these in my checked in luggage... No problem.
Also had a droid in my carry-on luggage. It went through the scanner and nobody said anything.

Just buy a regular bottle of coke and swap the lids. Then put the SW lid by itself.

If it is over three ounces it would be banned no matter what shape it was. It is obvious that it isn't a real grenade, but the quantity of liquid is the reason as well as any other one.This news is coming out of Disneyland, but it will impact WDW within a few days after Star Wars Land opens at DHS.

Will they be allowed in luggage or just be taken away if they are found in carry on?

Disney has just announced they will ship your new or used collectable SWGE Coke products container to your house for $39.95 per bottle. (Bottle sold separately)
Then your overpriced beverage/souvenir becomes doubly overpriced.
