Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 A three year old had his Minion toy Fart blaster confiscated by security staff because it had a trigger under the replica guns rules. Not sure if this counts as amusing or not. A scene from Airplane has just come to mind where a group of people carrying automatic weapons walk through the security barrier put they pounce on a nun. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/aviation/11807263/Toddlers-Minions-fart-blaster-not-allowed-on-flight-as-it-has-a-trigger.html I realise they have to be strict regarding replicas but is this going too far. Unless the child runs up and down the aisles unsupervised pointing it at passengers there should be no danger.
Fox92 Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Why would you want to take that on holiday anyway.
AyewJoking Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Why would you want to take that on holiday anyway. Who wouldnt?????
Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Author Posted 17 November 2015 The child wanted to take it.Three year olds do not think like adults To him it is a toy that makes a rude noise not a terrorist weapon. The only thing about it is that it would annoy the other passengers after a while. Next trip the mother will have to say 'No love don't take your gun, would you rather not take your Star Wars lightsaber instead?'
Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Author Posted 17 November 2015 could be a terrorist weapon Really? They did say though that if it had been an undercover test they would have failed. Silly but better than the airport being closed.
Guest MattP Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 I'd shove it up his arse if he was sat next to me on a flight, three years old or not.
ScouseFox Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 I'd shove it up his arse if he was sat next to me on a flight, three years old or not. bit yewtree that
Wymsey Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Looks like part of a gun and the top of a water bucket imo.
Stadt Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 I'd shove it up his arse if he was sat next to me on a flight, three years old or not. out of context this is so wrong
sphericalfox Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 (Edit) Looks like an Muslamic raygun to me
Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Author Posted 17 November 2015 The rule for going on air flights now is if it looks like a weapon then it is a weapon. Leave it at home.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 One of these days my mother in law will stop being surprised when they take her bottles of shampoo and nail scissors off her when going through airport security
Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Author Posted 17 November 2015 out of context this is so wrong Yes would make a good quote for someone's sig.
MooseBreath Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Could be a real gun covered by a plastic toy gun.
Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Author Posted 17 November 2015 Could be a real gun covered by a plastic toy gun. Like a wolf in wolf's clothing? What a cunning plan.
Stadt Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Yes would make a good quote for someone's sig. i don't know if you're being subtle or rincewind but it already is

shen Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Same thing happened to me as a kid when flying from Dresden to Brussels, a short time after the wall fell. I had a plastic toy gun that you shoot those sucker arrows, and the trigger was actually broken. I forgot I had it in my backpack because I hadn't actually played with it during my holidays there. The security guard told me off and left me mightily embarrassed until my grandad intervened. It all ended with the security guard confiscating the toy leaving my grandad furious and disbelieving.

At three years old they move on to the next toy quick enough anyway.

Sure, it is a toy but it looks like a gun, so don't take it. Absolutely silly.People should know the rules by now and if not just use common sense.
