Do you have a source for this? It sounds quite likely, but any time law gets discussed I always try to find the relevant texts. I'm having trouble finding anything other than laws about carrying firearms on your person while on a commercial airliner.

See section 91.15 for the part about "dropping of items."
I'm still looking for the BATF regs on this. IANAL, so it's a bit of work, but I do know a few guys that do weapons systems (govt contractor) and my younger brother is a pilot.

Found this which seems to confirm what I'm saying:

As long as they aren't actually guns, it's legal. As soon as they become actual firearms, then you need permits/licenses/etc.
