Confiscated goods at Heathrow airport 3
Oct28
This seemed pretty ridiculous. There were so many unhappy people having their drinks, medicine, and toiletries confiscated.
Once we landed in New York, I was asked by a police officer to switch off my cellular phone in the baggage retrieval area because, as he said, “Those emails that have been going around about mobile phones not always being phones? They’re true.” Really? OK.
Laughable as it seems, apparently one airplane really was brought down by a toothpaste tube with plastic explosives 30 years ago.
It happened to be in the case of Luis Posada Carriles, who blew up a Cubana Airlines flight with 73 people on board, but is being protected by the US government. A terrorist you say? Clearly it depends on who the target is.
The mobile phone incident is doubly ridiculous because when you’re using the phone it shows it is obviously a working phone, but if it’s switched off it might actually be some super-secret destructive device, and no one would know.
I have issues with not being able to take all my bathroom stuff, I would not survive one day with out it!!!
I need mouthwash on a plane. o well, gues oral-b will come up with a solution for that: finger brushes!
