After reading about Air France Flight 447, these kind of scenarios scare the shit out of me.

once flew with a stanley knife in a pencil case which was in my hand luggage. realised when i got there and emptied my bag

My sister-in-law’s boyfriend went off to Amsterdam with a dirty* knife and fork in his bag. Got there fine, but security noticed it on the way back.

I got pulled aside by security once because they thought my car key was a flip knife. I’m fairly certain I wasn’t the first person to have passed through with a car key that folds out from the fob ffs.

(*Dirty as in he’d used it for his dinner at work the day before, rather than there being naughty pictures on the handles)

the reference wasn’t that amusing but the tweet itself still makes me giggle on a regular basis

#187

I got stopped at security once for having hand cream and paté in my carry-on luggage that I’d bought as Christmas presents, they eventually let me off for the paté after some umming and ahhing but I had to ditch the expensive hand cream I’d bought for my mum. Not a peep on the two double-bladed Swiss army knives in the same bag.

Kind of shows that the whole liquid ban thing is total nonsense really, doesn’t it?

I’d love it if other airports did this, but only for regional edible specialties. like you’re allowed to board the plane at heathrow with a full english in your bag, but only if you donate a fiver to the Samaritans.

she found them up in skye near where her partner has a house. she put them in her bag with the intention of chucking them in the sea to get rid of them but completely forgot about them until the next time she went to skye on a plane :confused:

to make matters worse she was with my parents and they were late going through security, so almost didn’t make the flight!

i assume she has a massive black mark against her every time she goes through an airport now “this twat tried to take maybe live bullets on a plane”

Depriving an Italian of pesto would be like depriving a normal man of air! (Same goes for olive oil and garlic)

You should have just used all of the cream there and then. Absolutely caked your hands in the stuff.

I did, I went around offering it to people in departures as well. I later saw it on sale at home but it had cost me £20 and I couldn’t afford to buy another tube :frowning:

Had super smooth hands on the flight back though.
