The episode created a backlog of at least a thousand people waiting to go through security.
Houston Airport System spokesman Bill Begley stressed that, especially during the busy summer travel season, anyone with any doubts as to what can be carried on a plane should check the TSA’s “what can I bring? website before packing their bags.

The Boy Scouts have toy grenades? Wow! Maybe there's hope for them after all...

Granted, the young lad made a serious mistake. However, it should have taken less than 30 seconds to figure out it was a dummy grenade. If TSA isn't trained to identify them, then shame on TSA. If it is training for that and it took that long to clear the issue, then TSA has a training issue. A hollow piece of metal with a blue handle is so obviously not a danger. Just chunk it in the junk box with all the nail files, pocket knives, and belt buckles. Good grief.
