Illicit substances
Jump to: Newest in thread
I was just reminded of flying from the US the Christmas after 9:11 and I managed to annoy the (apparently 12 yrs old) national guatdsman on the queue who then personally escorted me through security.
He ensured that I got every check and was stripped down to my vest and trousers as my socks were afforded a tray each and my every possession was scrutinised and all my hand luggage unpacked.
It was only when I was finally redressing that I noticed the swiss army knife on my keys... 
I decided discretion was the better part of valour and kept schtum. 
Have you guys ever illegally taken anything across a border by accident? |

haha...as a skydiver, we very often wear our parachutes on the plane..(because they are heavy and expensive)
the pilots and staff dont seem to be impressed with the lack of confidence it instills on the other customers!!

My wife and I on arrival at Perth WA International airport got our carry on luggage sniffed by the sniffer dog while waiting for our baggage and then our bags were searched for fruit etc.The lady found some oranges and removed them which we would have declared at the desk,later when we unpacked our bags we found more oranges which she missed and we thought were removed.So much for protecting the Aussie flora and fauna eh |

Having flown to the States a couple of times in the months following 9/11, I made a point of not bringing attention to myself in the queues....was probably the sensible thing to do as I witnessed several passengers who thought it clever to aggrevate the situation....rather ridiculous I thought at the time considering the hideous attack the Americans had endured..... |

Me and a friend flew into Atlanta USA 4 years ago. My friend was arrested on the plane when we landed (complete mistaken identity, same name as a wanted drug smuggler) after kicking up a bit of fuss trying to declare my friends innocence I was then taken into a room and warned about behaviour. On our return to the airport 4 days later we were met after check in by 2 very big security men and ushered to the terminal and told good riddance. Got to love the yanks, very welcoming |

Every time I've flown from Heathrow to JFK I get searched. I've never carried anything that I shouldn't have. Now I always wear slip on shoes, no belts, no jewellery, and not many layers as I'm sick of undressing  |

Blimey, you were very lucky. We have relatives in Perth and we have seen many people have their bags stripped and searched because they forgot to declare the fruit they were given on the plane! Australia has had a card system for very many years that is a legal document. If you fill it in wrong and sign it, you are at best going to get a warning at worst, imprisonment! Not sure how many years they have been doing it, but they also x-ray all baggage coming off planes now!
I have been stopped and searched, they never found a knife with a one and a half inch blade on my key ring in Frankfurt Hahn! But mostly I just get through without any problems.. Just lucky I guess..

If you talk to the staff manning the entry to Australia, they will tell you that $200 is what they get paid a week! I suspect it is a bit better than that!

Going to Erotica last year we flew, i had a variety of corsets in my bag, as i hadnt been able to decide what to wear. Add the shoes, skirts, normal clothes etc my bag was considerable larger than kev's so being the gentleman he is he was carring it, whilst i had his hold all with a clean pair of socks and toothbrush in it.
Fine, until we got sperated at customs and the metal detector showed up strange shapes in his bag.(i prefer proper steel boned corsets). Kev stood there whilst the customs official emptied out the lot and then turned to him and asked
"Is this your bag Sir?"
Thank god i hadnt packed any toys |

We went to see the nuclear plant at Winscale. They have the same metal detectors as airports. As I went through, the machine beeped. I was told to go back and empty my pockets, then take off my belt. I was finally frisk searched! I thought, before the rubber gloves came out that I had better tell them about the metal plates in my wrist!
It has never happened at an airport though...  |

she is always stopped.

she has just taken some stunt pegs for her son i bought him for his birthday, and was hoping she wouldnt be stopped by the guards thinking they were pipe bombs or owt. lol |

Similar here at Sydney. Id emptied everything out of my bag on the plane but the sniffer dogs went into a frenzy at my handbag.
They searched everywhere but couldnt find anything then the customs officer asked if Id ever had chocolate in my handbag because one of the dogs loved it.
My reply - 'Err Im a woman, what do you think?'
Things Ive carried through in all innocence - big bottles of water, army knives, scissors, 6 jars of unprocessed honey.
Ive even flown on a ticket with the wrong name on it |

I had a Sheath knife with a three inch blade taken off me before boarding. Lucky my assault rifle was in the hold. I was flying out of a military airport to do a six month tour.
Though I have a credit card sized multi tool, which has a sharp cutting edge (& Bottle opener, can opener, spanner etc.) which I keep in my wallet, and I have flown several times without remembering it was in there. |

Talking of Sydney reminds me of when i flew over for the Olympics. It was fun and games and time consuming at Passport Control.
I handed over my passport and waited whilst the staff spent ten minutes comparing my photo against a whole wall full of fabswingers profile photo's.
And unlike single women on here, they let me in.

he was trying to hit on me and decided to check my passport so he could talk to me. then he went looking for my name in it and could only find the page where you fill in your next of kin/emergency contact and so started calling me by my sisters name.
i was foolish enough to mention that that page was filled in in biro and would not be acceptable as a travel document and when i tried to show him the photo page he just glared at me, refused to hand my passport back and had a word with security. 
boys and their egos... |

I flew into Cairo and landed in the early hrs of the morning. For some reason i was one of the first people off the plane.
I came to the desk and handed my passport over..
..It took around twenty minutes to get my passport back, apparently having a bright red mohican on your photo causes gun-toting Arabs to fall around in hysterics..
The rest of the plane's passengers were NOT happy as we all had to wait whilst the fools had their giggle.
By contrast, the Jordanian security people were the very model of professionalism. |

And there was.the customs woman in Atlanta who pulled me to one side, made me unpack my hand luggage and swabbed it for drugs/explosives just so she could get a good look at it and ask me if it was available to buy in the US... |

Travelling to France via Pool to a friends house, we were asked if we had any knives etc. I always travel with my own kitchen knives if self catering so pointed them out and they said ok.
When I got back in the car hubby said to me did you forget the two man saw and the chopper, (he was helping chop some trees down) |
