Last year, police authorities from various countries started issuing warnings about the use of pistol-type casings in public, these endangering the lives of the people who use them because the police officers could be tempted to use their weapons against these people.
The warnings made by the authorities did not matter much for a man who entered the Standsted airport, near London, with a gun-type iPhone case, it being discovered by the security agents during a routine check made most likely in the security area before entering the terminals.
Of course, the security agents immediately went on alert because the discovery of a possible weapon on a person is a major incident for any airport, but things calmed down only after the officers were convinced that they only had a piece of plastic in the shape of a gun and not a real weapon.
Although no one was in any real danger, the police said that they are considering opening a criminal case against the man for entering the airport with a shell that imitated a real gun, it being hidden under his clothes, so there is a chance that at least a serious fine be imposed against this person.
Even without warnings from the police, anyone should think from the start about the consequences that could have the introduction of an object that has the shape of a real weapon into an airport, but of course there are people who are completely out of touch with reality in where they are, and this could end their lives.
That said, if you're thinking of playing pranks on airport security officers, think twice before taking such a case on vacation, especially in a country where the police aren't afraid to use weapons, as is happening in Romania.
