Turkish Airlines Baggage Procedure Issue

I experienced a baggage problem with Turkish Airlines. I bought flowers and chocolates for my wife, a hairpin for my daughter, and a small water gun for my son, which he really wanted. I packed these items into a small box. I sent my suitcase ahead to the plane and wanted to carry this small gift box with me. While passing through the security checkpoint, the very professional security officers loudly declared that there was a gun in my gift package as it passed through the scanner. Everyone looked at me. I opened the package and explained that it was a water gun. They said I couldn't take it and that it was dangerous, asking me to put it in my suitcase if possible. Since my suitcase had already gone ahead, this was not possible. My gift package was ruined, and my child's mood was even more affected. I left the water gun and proceeded. Now, to everyone who writes and reads this baggage procedure, to all my friends who buy toys made of colorful plastic, and to all Turkish Airlines employees, I send my respects and love. Take that toy and console yourselves.
