Gatwick security missed knife
16.05.08
A passenger flew from Gatwick to Inverness with a steak knife in her handbag after airport security missed it, the Daily Record reports. Hotel owner Karen Hanna, 46, discovered the knife on the Flybe flight, but she was so scared, she couldn't bring herself to alert staff on the flight in case she was arrested.
Mrs Hanna told the newspaper: ‘The knife would have been a pretty nasty piece of work in the wrong hands. That it ended up on the plane without being detected doesn't reflect well on the airport's security systems.’
Airport chiefs launched a probe after hi-tech security scanners failed to spot the five-inch blade.
