Knives top list of contraband seized at airports
Small knives left in travelers' pockets are still among the most common contraband at airport security gates, but screeners say they continue to see everything from a large snake to a gun-packing granny. at http://www.washtimes.com/metro/20041...0130-3736r.htm |

If you are going to search people, then don't make exceptions for age. ************************************************** *************************** Other discoveries are not so amusing. An 86-year-old woman in Florida recently was caught with a loaded gun she had hidden inside a book. Other recent episodes include a child who was flagged when screeners found a gun hidden inside his teddy bear. ************************************************** ************************** |

Agreed, as my 63 year step-dad always forgets to leave a pocket knife
home when traveling by airplane. Always seems, as though he remembers when he gets to airport. He has had to run back to car a few times to leave it there. Also once left witht he nice people at NWA (Pinnicale Airlines) and was able to get it back when returning home. I know this is not the case all of the time or I guess I should say most of time, but for some reason he got lucky that go-around. Michael |
