Their knife laws are equally as dumb.

I got greased out at the airport in Whitehorse for carrying an empty shell casing loose in my luggage that was not secured with the live ammo I did have.

The poor hormone deprived lady was frantic telling me it was ammo and would not accept otherwise. Her listening/reasoning function was down for the day.

I do wish we had the UK's laws regarding suppressors. As an IL resident, that one is difficult to wrap my head around.

In Montana we used to be able to put our hunting rifles on flights (at least to Alaska) in the overhead luggage compartment. That has changed a bit.
On the other hand, flying back from Namibia to the U.S. via Heathrow, I was pulled off a departing flight because security found one fired 30-06 brass (my souvenir, along with a fine Kudu head to-follow), inside a locked rifle case.
