From the BBC:
“The Christmas tree made of
knives, bullets and cigarette lighters”
It's beginning to feel a lot
like... you know what. And if you are feeling festive - a Christmas tree -
might well be twinkling away in your living room or hallway. But we bet the decorations hanging from it
don't include knives, cigarette lighters and bullets. Vilnius Airport in
Lithuania has unveiled its alternative festive tree - made entirely of items
confiscated from passengers. The tree which is 1.5m (5ft) tall took just over
two weeks to create - but it's not just been done for the novelty value. "The aim is to send an educational
message on the importance of aviation security," said a spokesperson from
Vilnius Airport. "The items are
prohibited to carry in hand luggage and were taken away from passengers during
screening. Knives, scissors, lighters, blades, and all sorts of other dangerous
goods. "So if you don't want your personal, yet prohibited, belongings to
land on next year's Christmas tree, better check out the baggage requirements
before you pack for your next flight."
^ This is an interesting idea. I
like that it educates passengers in a seasonal way. I hope the airport also has
a traditional Christmas/Holiday Tree. ^
