I had cheese confiscated in Brussels “because we can’t tell the difference with C4 on the machine”
I suspect they just fancied a nice lunch.
Meanwhile I’ve flown a few times with a forgotten pocket knife in my carry on and more than 100mL of water. Nobody died and the plane landed safely at destination.
- ChoGGi 4y agoDid you lick the cheese?
- ornornor 4y agoI should have. Or maybe that's what they wanted!
- mrguyorama 4y agoOnce they have given you a reason something needs to be confiscated, there is 0 chance of you changing their mind with any logic, because they would rather look like an idiot than be wrong, because the TSA is a playground for low intelligence authoritarian types.
- markus92 4y agoThat's not just Brussels, cheese really does show up as C4 on the x-rays!
- marcosdumay 4y agoHow nitrogen-rich is that cheese?
- BenoitP 4y agoNow that's understandable. A lot of explosives are organic compounds (as in organic chemistry), just like food. And chocolate will have better energy density than most of them (not having to bring the oxydizer)
- ornornor 4y agoWe’ll never know. It also clearly smelled like cheese. Anyway, I avoid flying as much as I can because it’s an exercise in frustration.
