Security really missed on this cruise....Airport and RCCL...Kinda Scary

[gwsster]

I just got back from WDW and found what I thought was a flaw in security. At all of the parks you go through bag screening first. Then you go through a secondary metal detector but your bag is slid on a table outside of the metal detector. If I had something in my waistband at the bag check, then transferred said item to the bag before going through the metal detector then what was the point? I am sure Disney has figured this out, but I thought the procedure was odd.

 

 

I had already flown internationally twice and visited Six Flags Over Georgia a few times before a terrifying "weapon" on my person was confiscated at Six Flags.

 

The offending item?

 

A set of small fingernail clippers, attached to my keychain. Not the "scissors" type, either. :rolleyes:

 

I'm not sure how you could consider them dangerous at an amusement park -- "Okay, I'm hijacking this roller-coaster to Cuba! Back off or I'll give you a manicure!" -- but there they went. :mad:

Has anyone ever flown into Cancun? After going through immigration the custom check is pressing a button. Green light, you go through. Red light is a full inspection of all your luggage. It’s the darndest system . . . (Sorry I know not directly cruise related but on topic of travel security).

 

That is the Mexican system whatever airport you arrive at.

A 4" knife? Like a "steak knife"....they are everywhere on the ship. I wouldn't worry about it. But hairspray? I'd say 60% of the women have hairspray. Odd!

 

 

not odd, esp. if aerosol(under pressure) its flammable.

 

as for the 4 inch knife.. it was okay because I am pretty sure 4 inches is within the length permitted.

Same at the border crossings.

 

It is just their way of random screenings.
