Rincewind Posted 17 November 2015 Author Posted 17 November 2015 i don't know if you're being subtle or rincewind but it already is No I wasn't. I did not see it in your sig. In fact I had put 'my sig' then changed it to 'someone's' because I like mine as it is. Does it look like a real gun though? I can understand them being cautious though and I agree that if people thought about the things they pack then it would not be a problem. Even hairdryers when scanned would look like a gun. They have a switch in a trigger position. But why you would want one in hand luggage I don't know. The very minimum should be carried. Unless it is a long flight why would you want more than say a book and your flight documents?
Unabomber Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Looks like part of a gun and the top of a water bucket imo. I really agree with this opinion.
Bellend Sebastian Posted 17 November 2015 Posted 17 November 2015 Some of the lads I know do farts that could bring down a plane
Rincewind Posted 18 November 2015 Author Posted 18 November 2015 The thing is it only looked like a gun under a scanner. They took it out of the child's backpack and saw that it was made of plastic, coloured blue and made a farting noise not exactly a thing that a hijacker would use. Yes people should be aware of what is and not allowed on a plane but the family were returning from a visit to family and the toy was a present from the lad's grandfather. Difficult to bring it back without taking it aboard the plane. Even the security officer said his son had one so he knew the potential threat the toy did not have. It is true the rules have to be strict but maybe a little leeway should be given and only actual items that can be used as weapons should be confiscated. We do not know though the exact instructions the security staff are given and he feared for his job.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 18 November 2015 Posted 18 November 2015 They didn't let me take mine either On a more serious note, what kind of parents are going to let a kid play with anything (regardless of what it looks like) that makes fart sounds on a packed plane full of paying customers who don't want to be sat A) near a kid and B) near a kid that's going to be playing with a shitty toy that makes fart noises for hours on end.

Bellends this I agree with. the title of this thread should be "what kind of idiot lets their child take a fart blaster on to a plane?"
Rincewind Posted 18 November 2015 Author Posted 18 November 2015 I do too. Not the sort of toy I would buy a 3 year old The only danger is to him from other passengers. I don't suppose it would be detected in a suitcase.
MPH Posted 18 November 2015 Posted 18 November 2015 7 hours on a plane listening to a 3 year old playing with a fart gun...... ( that will be the distance of my next flight...)
