Airports of Thailand (AOT) just added everyone’s favorite electronic pet, Furby, to its list of prohibited items on board aircrafts. Behind the cuddly façade, the AOT director explained that Furbies contain complex electronic circuiting that could be used to hide explosive devices. Nok Air currently tells their passengers that they can fly with their Furby if they remove the battery first.
