Tin Foil, unsophisticated way of penetrating security
Razor Blades in a remote control car. I remember reading a story in Aviation Today about R/C toys

When I flew down to Texas to pick up my car (I bought it from my brother), I carried on a license plate in my bag!
Right before the bag went through the machine, I said “It has a license plate in it.” The security guy looked at me, looked at the bag going through and said “Ok.”
I put my shoes back on, got my bag and went on my way.
I thought it was unbelievable they let me carry a large plate of thin metal on the plane in my bag!
Patel is the second most common surname in India. It’d be like having two men named Smith on the plane and assuming they were related.

>>Authorities also found 20 small knives wrapped in tin foil. And upon searching Patel’s bag three more times, they found razor blades hidden in the battery compartment of a toy car.<<
That would imply they would have missed the razor blades if they had found the other stuff. And also how to blades - place them over a similar sized battery in a toy - I wish they had not published that.
“I thought it was unbelievable they let me carry a large plate of thin metal on the plane in my bag!”
Just flew first class to and from Beijing. They had new, shiny, sharp knives onboard with which to cut our steaks. And, of course, the glasses were made of glass and champagne and wine bottles always have been.
How the #&^@*% do you pronounce Chhaganbhai ?

Ping.
Oh goody.... and we are flying tomorrow and Monday!
You sound like a terrorist. It wouldn’t be safe to seat you next to somebody with a bunch of knives or a boxcutter. You might get paint on them.
