Comment on Where do guns go when people are done using them?
Hyperreality@kbin.social 11 months agoSounds boring.
More fun: pop it in the bag of someone who's about to go to the airport.
Someone did that to my grandma with a huge knife in her bag. My mom was eventually able to convince them someone put it in there, asking them what possible reason would this old lady have to smuggle a giant knife.
I think it was either just to get rid of it, or to see if she got thru, and maybe they’d try to take it back out of her bag on the other side of TSA. We gave her a lot of crap for it.
Try that while being Middle Eastern.
I had something vaguely similar happen to me.
We got called out of the line for a manual luggage inspection because, as a surprisingly bored security agent informed us, X-ray showed a knife of about a foot length in our luggage.
We had no idea what they were talking about.
We were half-way through unpacking the whole pack when my SO lit up and asked “could it be my ice skates?”
Agent took a look at the X-ray, nods, and lets us pack it back up without any further checking.
Overall, turned out harmlessly, but the sheer confusion of where that supposed knife had come from, combined with how blasé that security person was about the whole affair from start to finish stuck in my mind.
Wait, they didn’t tell you to check them? Interesting…
There’s a reason they’re called blades. In any case, they probably have an entire colllection of things people tried to sneak in… Klingon batleths, Vulcan Lirpas… Scottish claymores…. Chewbacca’s lightsaber….
(true story. The actor that played Chewbacca had his cane taken away, it was polycarbonate with a lightsaber holy.)(assholes)
This comment right here, officer
Years ago a co-worker/friend thought it funny to make a thin metal outline of a gun and place this metal in a book of another co-worker headed to the airport, friends like this who needs enemies?
What if you made one of those art piece style things that cast a specific shadow from one direction but look like a pile of stuff when looked directly.

Ketchup won’t work, the color and texture are off. I bet if you ask nicely you can get some from your nearest meat shop if you tell them you want to make blood sausage. You’ll have to let the blood warm up before it’ll clot and dry on there though.

In Finland you can buy bottled cow blood on supermarkets
