My wife and I were the only ones who could see why the plane turned around from the flight line and spent an extra half hour at the gate.
As an Arizonan who grew up shooting, I was not happy — it’s an empty 7.62 round — someone had fun shooting an AK in the california desert and wanted a souvenir and I just wanted to go home after an international flight =(
The flight attendants thought maybe someone had fired it on the plane or it may have been dangerous. They brought in the TSA supervisor who also had no idea.
It was very hard not to interject.
Edit: that is not a pistol behind the casing, not sure what it is.

I brought an empty .50 bmg case with me in my carry-on in 2017. All that happened was the X-ray person had to open my bag to make sure it was an empty case.

I want to bring a cigarette butt with me to put in the ashtray that’s in all airplane bathrooms.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve reached into my pocket and found random brass.

Had to look at the pic like 5 times before i saw it. Some flight crews must have really wanted a hotel for the end of the night ahah

This looks just like the casing my wife got at her grandfather’s funeral. He was a vet so they did a 21 gun salute and gave out the casings to family members. She didn’t even think about it when she was flying home until she was unpacking and figured she was lucky they didn’t find it… apparently she was right if they wanna delay flights over it. Sheesh 🙄
