I found an interesting news article this evening. "Lufthansa Pilot Nabbed with Deadly Slingshots" "A random bag search at Frankfurt Airport in Germany turned up two deadly slingshots and ammunition in a Lufthansa pilot's luggage. The pilot had just flown in from Los Angeles. " "The pilot is potentially in breach of both weapons laws and air safety laws and faces up to three years in prison under German law." Lufthansa Pilot Nabbed with Deadly Slingshots - AOL Travel News I didn't see if this was carry on or checked baggage. Better not take any more slingshots to the airports.
Air crew don't check baggage, there is a locker for it near or in the cockpit. (Unless things have changed since I last flew.)
Apparently Frankfurt airport has been stepping up their security since the recent fatal shooting of that airman. Sucks to be that guy with the slingshot. When I think "Deadly weapon", I don't think of slingshots. Common sense applies. Welcome to the New World.
The Liberal mindset is nothing short of truly amazing......... That they can remain functional (to a degree) with so little brains..... rather like a seajelly.......
Funny to think about, but most women are currently wearing double barrel slingshots... Are they going to have to claim and register their bras next? I personally would feel much safer if all women flying would be bra-less...
