Okay, so I'm amusing myself in various ways online, and randomly came across a list of what is and what is not allowed on a plane, both in checked and carry on luggage. Among the expected things on the list was this gem:

Toy Transformer Robots.

Which, incidentally, are allowed both in checked and carry on luggage.

I laughed at this for a good few minutes. Because really, what would make anyone think they were NOT allowed? I could understand the one below it (toy weapons, non-realistic), which are allowed now but I believe they were banned for awhile (amusing in and of itself), but.... toy transformer robots? Someone wrote this list and felt the need to clarify that one?

There's some other funny shit on that list, too - they're quite specific about things, like screwdrivers under a certain lenth are allowed, and sharp-tipped scissors under a certain length are also allowed. Amusing.

Lots of plastic parts that can be broken off, leaving sharp edges and stuff. That would be my guess.
