It insinuates, but does not specifically state, that all this stuff except what he was wearing was in checked luggage. If in his carry on, well that is a world of hurt, but still only charged for the grenade.
Is it prohibited to wear body armor through the CP?
They called it a "smoke grenade". More details about what exactly the item was would be needed to be known before determining how much of a danger, if any, it presented in the cargo hold of a plane or even in the passenger cabin.
Government and media have a way of hyping up things by the way words are used.
