Well done by the police.

Life in jail to would-be terrorists and nut-cases, I say.

Probably planned to throw it into a NYE gathering. 

Hope no others got through ...

The man claimed the grenade wasn’t his and didn’t know how it got into his bag. He said that a friend of his must have placed it there.

 

That's exactly what I said when they found my AK 47 under my seat! 

I wish I had thoughtful friends like his...

Of course the OP says it's a 'live' grenade, but as someone already pointed out, it's the Mills Bomb type, also known as the Cadbury Bomb because everyone gets a square.

 

However 'live' and 'armed' are two different things. It needs a fuse inserting into it, otherwise you might as well throw a brick.

 

So was it armed? If not, it's an ornament.

Not " my " but one  ( one of your dear friends put it on without telling you , of course )

I cant wait to get my Nomad Naked .30 suppressor. 10 month wait in the USA, but worth the wait.

I wonder if that yellow ring around it gives an indication of who it was meant for.  ????
