Has anyone successfully taken metal studded O shoes in their hand luggage (to avoid them becoming lost luggage)on flights?
Or are they seen as offensive weapons?

'most everytime i fly also, + pair of regular running shoes, since you can borrow most other things from people if you lose your checked bag.

I regularly travel with a dozen or so emit units in hand luggage... along with all the cables & flashing lights:) Never a problem:)

But leukotape these days is strictly banned! That's if you get the really grumpy guy with the moustache at Stansted routing through all your possessions and making up elaborate ways to take over a plane. If you didn't know how to hijack one before there were a few handy hints!

I had to lend a fellow club member insulation tape at the French 5 last week as he had his brand new role of tape confiscated when checking in at the airport.

I think i'm right in saying Big Jon got hassle from Edinburgh airport security last summer as he tried to get his cheque book through the security point!

I knew a guy who had to leave his suit at security, it was so sharp !

we had some pots of muller rice confiscated on the way to the french 5 last week, they were for breakfast and he wouldn't even let us eat them there and then in front of him...if only we'd eaten them 5 meters further back..

you need to be careful Kitch, with wit as sharp as that, you will have it confiscated....

I was confiscated at security because I contained more than 100ml of fluid, and I wasn't even in a resealable bag.
