johnny-knoxville

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville was detained at LAX this morning for trying to board a plane with a grenade in his luggage.

Authorities picked up the grenade at security, and immediately detained Knoxville. Initial reports suggest that grenade was a fake, but it was later discovered it was real, but lacked explosives (an empty grenade?).

Knoxville was cited for carrying a prohibited item and sent on his way.

    There's two pieces to a grenade…

    -the fragmentation part (the bumpy outside you see)
    -the explosive + timer core (you will see these as empty holes at places like Sunny's Surplus)

    It was a real grenade apparently but without any explosives so could do about as much harm as throwing a stone. I doubt that excuse would wash with airport security.
