An Exhibition Of The Seized Articles Opened In A Canadian Airport

The passengers of the air carriers not always imagine well the carriage rules of different objects and substances. Once one of my acquaints tried to sneak into the plane departing to Italy a knife just because he was going to spend some weeks in a tent in the remarkable Italian Alps. Where have you seen a tourist without a penknife? Since the whole of his baggage consistent of hand luggage, surprised custom officers detected the dangerous object just on the way to the plane.

However, airport workers happen to encounter such cases of gross violation of customs rules not so rarely. In the large international airports about some hundred thousands of objects prohibited for carriage are confiscated in a week.

In Canadian International class Pearson airport an exhibition of the designated passenger items was opened. Its main purpose is to show visibly the things that can not be transported by airplane and thereby to decrease the number of the violations. The airport workers are complaining about the fact that the process of the explanations and rejection of the items always takes their time and significantly increases the time of passing the customs supervision. At the amusing exhibition there is a possibility to see both ordinary gas bottles and aerosols and exotic samples like dung fertilizers or simian fells as well.

So, next time if you want to take your beloved pocket crocodile, the absolutely necessary samurai sword or some fireworks to make somebody's life more funny – please, be sure that the opinion of the customs officers about the "necessity" of these things can slightly different from your own.
