what the %$£&" do they expect to find inside that? Another gun?
Who knows what they expect? I put my nav bag through the x-ray at a UK airport earlier this year. After a great deal of screen staring, they opened it up, took out my metal teaspoon (beverages, hot, for the use of), placed the teaspoon by itself in a little plastic tray, and x-rayed it again.
I couldn't believe what I was watching. Unless I've been buying spoons from Desmond Llewelyn again, just what sort of lethal weaponry can you conceal inside a solid stainless steel teaspoon? Most of the guys are fine but there are a few who must come to work on the Sunshine bus.
