Airport screens in Reno, Nevada confiscated a 3D-printed gun loaded with five rounds of ammunition in a passenger’s carry-on. The controversial plastic guns can’t be detected by metal detectors.

The replica gun was built entirely from parts made with a 3-D printer, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security officers said. While it was “inoperable,” the gun was loaded with five .22-caliber live bullets.
