Humberside airport security ban girls Nemo bubble gun
17.06.06
A 6 year old girl has been stopped from taking a fish-shaped bubble gun on a plane from Humberside Airport, after officials said it was a security risk. Her parents were told the plastic toy from a Finding Nemo set had to be checked in or it would be confiscated!
A spokesman for Humberside Airport said Department for Transport regulations on carrying toy or replica guns were very clear and non-permitted items would be confiscated by security.
'However, where the toy is not a direct replica of a weapon, as in this case, there is an element of discretion for individual security staff to make the decision. To be certain, parents of young children wishing to take toys on holiday should pack these items in their hold luggage,' he added.
