My dad is able to get out of his wheelchair and instead use a walker, which I didn’t think he’d be able to do again in his lifetime.

I was listening to old punk rock (from my own collection, not some algorithmic channel) and Kamala’s Too Nice by Screeching Weasel came on, which was really amusing in the current American political landscape. https://youtu.be/EjlhlqcCTjM

True, but nothing else looks like money. Lots of things have a similar shape as the barrel of a gun.
Money is also quite detailed, with a known list of configurations. Any counterfeit would need to match the details in those known configurations extremely well. Finding that match with a high degree of accuracy is a fairly well understood and common engineering task. This is not the same task as identifying anything that could possibly be used to represent money with a high degree of accuracy, which is essentially what would be needed in the gun printing problem.
Somewhat related, the US Gov provides play money that you can print for your kids, which I found helpful to teach my kids about how money works. https://www.uscurrency.gov/sites/default/files/download-materials/en/Printable-Play-Money.pdf

Taking this purely as an engineering task, how is this remotely possible? I can barely begin to imagine how restrictions on what can be printed could be set. Am I missing something obvious? Some kind of contextual understanding of the object seems to be necessary… please don’t tell me their proposed solution is AI.
In any case it will never work because 3D printing is so easy for makers to do from scratch, so any solution will fail to prevent printed guns from being made.
Again, this is just the pragmatic engineering angle. Please don’t respond with political arguments.

Lots of good advice in this thread already, but I want to add a few details:
Power banks are not allowed to be used on most long haul flights I’ve been on (trans-pacific), and when transiting through China they even confiscate them if they are over a certain capacity, but all flights have AC plugs at each seat.
Make sure the bag you bring this stuff in is a beach friendly bag that lets the sand fall out through loose knit threads, like a net. Also if you have clothes with pockets like that, bring them instead of clothes that have pockets made of tight knit cloth.
Also bring something to put seashells into for the trip back home. Maybe a plastic jar.
A bucket is always a good idea. You can find collapsible buckets that would be easy to fit inside a bag. Buckets are good for sandcastles and for bringing water to wash sand off of things.
I think they mean eink ebook reader, which would be fine in the bright sun.

I was going for something similar with 75% opaque at the top and 0% opaque at the bottom, known as a neutral density gradient in photography, often used in landscape photographs to balance the bright sky against the less bright ground or water. This is a great one for me since I’m color blind.
