OT: Only in America

that is just to funny....lol.... ~~Yanya~~

My husband had to surrender his nose hair scissors on a flight we were on from Hawaii to Guam. After we were up in the air the pilot came out holding up the nose hair scissors asking who they belonged too. My husband indicate they were his. The pilot handed them to him and said, "This is ridicules... now promise not to hijack the plain with these."

This was taken from an issue of an email newsletter published by the AirFinance Journal.

Before deploying from Savannah, Georgia, to Iraq by a chartered airliner, the troops of the 48th Brigade Combat Team, a National Guard unit, had to go through the same security checks like any other passengers.

Lt. Col. John King, the unit's commander, told his 280 fellow soldiers that FAA anti-hijacking regulations require passengers to surrender pocket knives, nose hair scissors and cigarette lighters. "If you have any of those things," he said, almost apologetically, "put them in this box now."

The troops were, however, allowed to keep hold of their assault rifles, body armour, helmets, pistols, bayonets and combat shotguns.
