Have you had an airport security nightmare?

This happened to me. I made a stupid mistake of not removing a tiny bottle assuming it must be a perfume, but was it?

For some weird reasons, I was cleared at the Mumbai International airport but I was caught carrying it at the Munich airport. Woala! erroneously i carried a PEPPER SPRAY !

The not-so-cool lady at the security called the good looking cop. When the good looking cop saw the numerous visa stamps of my travel to Germany + learning that I worked for a German automobile company + a nice smile, he let me go by asking for an assurance that I will be careful going forward.

But those 5 minutes scared the hell out of me.

Do you have an airport nightmare?

I think its all abt luck cuz this girl i was travelling w somehow got cleared at Mumbai airport with a bottle of soda 馃樄 (she obvs left it later after the other check at new del) and mine was kinda funny cuz I had my laptop in a cover and the security asked me to remove the cover (I was confused?) So I showed them the chargers too and they found it funny lol this guy next to me was a frequent traveller so he was like my unofficial guide cuz idk how to fill the declaration forms etc and later while arriving at yyz i thought the border services police were airport security so i asked them how to book a cab and they asked if im cold and want tim hortons lmaoo and the guy met me again and told me they were not airport security lmao

@SW-User Which country r u from? India? I have only travelled for work because I was pathetic with work-life balance once. Been to Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich (Germany) several times, United Kingdom, Spain, France and Switzerland.

Domestic flights i don't have a count of. But pretty much 90% covered.

Which lounge? the airport lounge at Mumbai Intl airport?

I was carrying 6 bottles for an event. Others were carrying the same qty.

@SW-User ofc im desi, but wow you say only travelled for work but you're still well travelled than most, and yes the international lounge lol

@SW-User kya yar i always hated the lounge even if it was accessible to me because of business class tickets. I love having nice chilled beer at the airport before boarding LOL

Arey for me it is more like airport-hotel-event venue-back to hotel-airport and home. lol

I remember a day when i travelled to delhi only for a 20 mins presentation LOl

Not so much nightmares, but flying post 9/11 with a lot of video gear in large flight cases. It was always searched thru and the TSA left pamphlets in them. We never took them out so the cases were always full of them

no, the fact that airport security is so petty is why I haven't flown in over a decade, not commercially anyways

Not a nightmare more of an inconvenience

Yes. I bought a bottle of duty free gin when I was in Amsterdam. then I transferred in OHare where you have to leave the terminal and go back in by bus. It's lame. TSA told me I couldn't take the gin cause it wasn't in a duty free bag. I had to go all the way back to the counter and check it in. It's sitting in my cabinet right now.
