When I was a kid they made me check in a Super Soaker 50 that my parents bought me. Funny thing was the box they put it in was huuuge.

Also not really small, but I purchased a boomerang behind security in SYD and carried it on the plane to LAX only to be told by security there that I had a weapon. I'd be more dangerous throwing my laptop at someone than a boomerang, but I went back to the counter and they stapled it into a paper bag. I was sure it'd get broken when someone threw a big bag on it, but it also arrived just fine.
Those things started out as hunting weapons. Before you know it all the terrorists will be carrying those things.
