An Israeli pilot was busted at Kennedy Airport for trying to bring a retractable baton onto a flight, officials said yesterday.
Shay Givony was headed to his El Al Airlines flight at around 10:15 p.m. Saturday when security at Terminal 4 spotted the weapon stashed in his luggage, the officials added.
Givony, 40, was arrested by Port Authority police and charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor.
The Israeli resident was awaiting arraignment last night in Queens Criminal Court, said a spokesman for the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
The airline did not immediately return requests for comment.

Good thing they caught him. He could have and was probably planning on hijacking the airplane with that. Was a close one.

I feel so much safer with the security guys looking out for us. Can't wait for them to figure out we all have this nasty-looking fire ax in the cockpit!

And we let our guys carry guns onboard? What if Israel allows those batons...?
What if Foriegn Security doesn't allow pilots to have guns...?
I agree...unleash the ax...
And what if the ax goes missing...how are they going to get a new one out there at boarding time...?
This
is getting out of hand...

The TSA agent was given a training that categorize the confiscated item as a dangerous one. Thus he did the job according to the SOPs. Maybe we should not be that harsed to him...

I wish you guys would stop mentioning the fire axe (or ax if you're that side of the water). Next thing you know, they'll be removed.
