A man claiming to be an actor was stopped by TSA security at Pittsburgh International Airport after a switchblade and a replica gun was found in his carry-on bag.

TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein says the weapons were stopped Monday morning.

He told agents that they were props, but even replica guns are not permitted in a person’s carry-on bag.

Farbstein says the switchblade and replica gun were put in a checked bag and was able to catch his flight.
