Just think of the things that you could do with that! Undo the cockpit door - bolt by bolt, break into the customs bonded cart after duty free has closed, break apart an economy class bread roll, - the list is endless! Really, how pathetic.
Once we took a Christmas present in our carry-on bag. Unknown to me, Mrs og decided that her sister should receive a biscuit making machine. Unfortunately this looked like a flare gun when X-Rayed. It took quite a bit of explaining until a security officer who made biscuits turned up to see what all the commotion was about.
