The reasonableness of TSA thinking something is a replica would be decided per instance and only at a trial/hearing but it will require a higher standard than Stewart's "I know it when I see it"
Up thread I posted 3 cases where TSA screeners either confiscated or prohibited an item from flying in the cabin. Do you think those actions were consistent with the CFR? I am not arguing that an item that closely looks like a weapon might be prohibited but that is clearly not what has happened in the past at TSA activities.
