Thread: Empty brass on plane

yep, I had one of those experiences.
Had a short notice work trip to Singapore after just getting back from a hunting trip. Somehow a fired empty case got into a small carryon bag I took with me. I had no idea it was there.
No problems getting to Singapore but at customs in Singapore as I was about to leave they found the case and the shit hit the fan a bit.
Airport security called the Police and they detained me until the Police arrived. The Air NZ plane had boarded but as luck would have it, I was able to let air NZ know what had happened.
Took a bit of explaining to the Police who were quite aggressive, the Air NZ rep climbed into them as the flight was being held up. They wanted to take me back to the Police station for a statement, however I was able to convince them that it was a mistake, and the case was not a weapon.
Took a bit of explaining but I was served a notice to say I was a naughty boy and if I did something like this again, I would be banned from entry to Singapore again.

Got on the flight as they waited for me and as I said the Air NZ rep was bloody good as they put the pressure on them to sort things out. Had to have a couple of rums on the flight back.
I make sure I check everything now.
