Warning to anyone who attempts what I did on a recent flight.

I had some spare time to do some browsing at a mall before my flight and found a package of bungee cords with the old style ends (wire versus the clunky plastic ones they use now) So, I bought a package and threw them in my carry on suitcase

Once I got pulled aside after the Xray machine I found out that bungee cords could be used to tie someone up, so I had to go back to the airline check in counter and check my carry on through to my destination or have the bungees confiscated.

Sheeeesh!

Once I got pulled aside after the Xray machine I found out that bungee cords could be used to tie someone up, - Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Shoelaces and leather belts can also be used to tie someone up. These are prohibited, Citizen!

Let me guess; you don't have a beard that's halfway down your chest and weren't wearing a turban (you probably would've gotten the bungee cords through security with those accessories).
