BALTIMORE (AP) - Officials say a man has been caught with a replica grenade at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein says the man was caught Sunday while going through a TSA checkpoint.

Farbstein says the grenade looked like a real one when it went through the x-ray machine.

She says the incident caused delays to travelers at the airport.
