djsaad1 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 I just came back from vacation yesterday and on the way there airport security took away my ipod shuffle. They said it could be used as a weapon and they would not allow me to board the plane with it. They said that they would mail it to my home address, which they did. But it still sucked not having my shuffle on the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2687 Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yeah...looks like everything went alright. I just don't understand why they deemed it a threat though. Maybe they're afraid of people packing some c4 into usb drives or something :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Yea, we understand, but that is a bit stupid, saying a USB device is "dangerous". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But luggage was already checked in at the time. Either way the whole point of me bringing the shuffle is to listen to it on the plane. By the way i forgot to mention, that I actually got pulled aside for screening. So they actually looked through my bag and found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 LOl the x-ray people saw it then, but they porably concerned about USB drives because you could put viruses on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicfish Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 LOl the x-ray people saw it then, but they porably concerned about USB drives because you could put viruses on them! Yes because you can't put viruses on laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawn Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 This really does not make sense, as I take my Tablet PC on flights all the time, and It's surely as much of a weapon as an ipod. Most unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin-ergy Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 hahaha, does that mean they will take out the usb port on laptop if you tried to take it on the plane? really doesn't make sense. remind me not to stop into that airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsaad1 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 they didnt take it away becuase they thought it had viruses or dangerous things on it. They explained to me that it could be used to stab people. Which makes somewhat sense, I actually tried just now it could peirce through your skin.

In my opinion you can stab someone just as hard with a fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
