Things are getting ridiculous down here in Oz..

Getting screened at a lovely airport in QLD, was pulled over and bag searched. When the lovely man pulled out an item and said "aha...found it"

What he had found was a broken arm off my sunglasses - such a weapon.

I put up a massive stink, he wanted to confiscate it so when I politely told him that would mean my whole pair of sunglasses would be unserviceable he pointed out to me that I might need to get a new pair.

Then things got rather interesting......told him Id be right back with the crash axe to demolish the broken arm so he doesnt collect broken sunglass arms to build a pair of his own..

I was "randomly" bomb searched next time I went through...in uniform

Absolutely and utterly ridiculous

*patiently waiting for the day a pilot breaks his sunnies to take over the jet*
