The Airline Screening Playset

Here I am sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to begin boarding. What better time to break out the Airline Screening Playset. I love the fact that the gun fits into the suitcase.

Wow. Playmobil, the German "educational" action figures of choice.

It is funny though: said screening set is absent from the German page (where it wouldn't have surprised me a bit), but available on the US version:

The question is - will having one of these playsets in your luggage cause airport security to drag you to the cavity-search room? After all, it DOES have a (teeny little) gun in there.

Who was it that said: Airports would be more interesting if Richard Reid had hidden explosives in his underwear instead of his shoes.

Only you, Norman, as far as I am aware :-)

Unfortunately, although it's my kind of humour, I didn't come up with it. I read it. I just don't remember who wrote it.
