From another article:

According to a source, Pitt, 47, isn't to blame for the prop problem. "The movie company's employees must have made a mistake bringing the guns in without the Anti-Terrorism Unit's permission."

This is the bottom line. They did not clear it with the local Mafia Homeland Security office.

Oops.

Lesson for the properties master (prop man) and the armorer (not always the same individual).

Always make sure you have all the proper permits when making a film. Especially when your production is doing location work overseas.

Interesting sidenote: When James Cameron did the original “Terminator”, he referred to it as a “guerrilla film”. He didn’t have filming permission from the LAPD for anything. The fact that he pulled it off owed to the fact that it was a low-budget film, and he could sneak under the radar.

A big-budget production like “World War Z”; not so much.....
