Yeah cos loads of people have been killed wif Disney pins stabbing them......
I take syringes in the cabin with me every trip. :unsure: Not traveling internationally though. At least not yet. And I would keep them with me then, too though. :unsure:
Don't forget about the shampoo, and other personal items that are liquid. We'd not want you to clean someone to death either. Anything over 3 ounces (some airports allow 3.4) must be in checked baggage.

Clean someone to death! :lol::lol::lol:
Tradesmans tools? OMG! He's coming at me with a paintbrush!
Well, you know shampoo in the eye can be a deadly weapon. Or a good face full of hairspray can knock a terrorist right out. But if you really want to do damage pouf your powder at them from the container. A cloud of white dust will send them right into a fainting spell! :yes:
Not only the paint brushes, but those rollers too! :lipwobble:
Yet knitting needles are not forbidden in cabins. Yep. I understand that. :rolleyes:

how would one pack a catapult on their carry on?
Sir? What is that?
Oh its my catapult....
WTF!?!?!?
LOL! I always interpreted that prohibition to mean that sling shots were not allowed? :unsure: Not positive if that is the real case, but it was the only thing my mind could conjure up that made the least bit of sense.
Seth does have a little catapult with his castle set though. Wonder if that would be disallowed in the cabin? :lol:

Well my pins, shampoo and catapult are safely packed in my suitcase. Some things are self explanatory but others seem odd.
