Does This 3cm Souvenir Look Too Dangerous for Airport Security to You?

You ’ve really got to experience for the Lloyds of Canada , who tried flying back home from Britain with this US Army - base token tucked into their bear - on luggage , only to be told it was a “ firearm , ” and not allowed on the plane .

When it congeal off the security department alarum at Gatwick airport , in the south of London , airport faculty investigated the £ 135 ( $ 214 ) souvenir and view as it a “ piece , ” despite it being a wood - mounted rosin statuette . I think , I would n’t stick it on my mantlepiece , but plainly Mr and Mrs Lloyd take a phantasy to it when they buy it from the Royal Corps of Signals Museum in Blandford Camp , Dorset .

And so the trauma of shipping it back to Canada commenced . First , they had to weasel the 3 cm rifle out of the little soldier ’s grip , then bribe an gasbag from a giftshop and coif for it to be sent back to Ontario — manifestly Royal Mail saw no security issue with a friggin ’ firearm replica going through the postal system .
