Airport security overreact

Knuckle duster necklaceAs I was going through Airport Security in Montreal I was stopped for my knuckle duster necklace. They asked why I was carrying a weapon in my bag. Let’s get a little perspective on this, the necklace is 1.5 inches by 1 inch, barely big enough to fit on a newborn baby( I know this because my friend once tried to fit it on her newborn’s hand).  So naturally they called the police and unlisted me from my flight. When the police finally arrived after 30 minutes they looked at the necklace and laughed, clearly the joke was on me.  So after being pulled from the early flight, I missed my connection and had to spend the next 8 hours in Toronto Airport waiting for the next flight out West.  Did I mention that this was Christmas Day?  So just a warning in case you’re planning on traveling with your  knuckle duster necklace, wear it around your neck , do not place it in your bag or they may be stupid enough to mistake it for a weapon. And that goes for the gun necklace as well…

  1. That was insane. Sorry it happened to you.

    Be sure to mention not to wear the ring with a gun! They’ll put you in jail!

  2. …or ask if it’s loaded.

  3. I’ve worn the ring with the gun over three continents. It was loaded too ;)
    Still LMAO
