According to the article it's built in the gutted shell of a real cell phone, which would strike me as looking fairly realistic (except that airports always make me turn on my cell phone [and other electronic miscellany] to make sure it's not a bomb anyway, and these won't turn on).
Also, these would be very illegal in most, if not all of the U.S. (I can think of three or four laws that they'd be covered under but all but one is state and not federal) contrary to popular belief -- both inside and outside of the U.S., guns are actually rather restricted here. Much more so than cars or knives or other deadly weapons.
