Ok last month i was up in Qld and on the way back my unty brought me a display knife for my 21st now this thing looks F***king evil any way on my way back home i made sure i declared it with Jetstar when i was heading to sydney and i told them i was flying rex back to wagga when i get to sydney. I asked her will it be fine and the chick at the counter said it was fine as long as it is not in my hand laguage so any way i go to sydney airport and booked in for my next flight to wagga and while i was waiting at the gate for my flight. Than i heard my name called me over the PA system to come up to the gate when i got there there was 2 security guys dressed in black and the Rex representative tells me they found a knife in my Laguage and they want to open my bag too have a look at it but they cant open it up unlease i am there. Any way the 2 security guys dressed in black suits escorted me to the screening room and they lead me through the Staff car park where 5 cops were waiting for me they than started asking me questons about why do i have it where did i get it from and i was like dude its a display knife that cant even cut butter that i got for a 21st present.
Any way we get to the screening room there is anouther 2 securtity guards waiting for me in the room by this time the room is cramed full of cops and security guards and one of them goes is there anything else i should know thats in the bag i told him yeh dirty undies he looked at me gave me a weird smile and the rex representative had a bit of a chuckle. Than i whisper in her ear and toldl her they never find it as funny as you do and you should of seen the looks i got. He than opened up the bag the knife was in its box with the recipt and everything clearly evidance that it is a display knfe.
So they made the decison to check with the captian and make sure it was ok with him to have it on board. He said it was fine because i couldnt get to it physicaly so they had made a big deal over nothing any way the cops asked me for my details and asked how old i was i said 21 one. the cop just looks at me and says u look young for 21. Do you drink and smoke, keep fit?
I cant belive that the security made such a big deal over nothing expecialy after i did everything right and it wasnt in my hand laugage it was a bit of an over kill.
