Rudo Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Does anyone know whether there is policy regarding the transport of bombs on planes? As far as I could see bombs were sometimes removed from both check-in and hand luggage. Is there any universal policy, carrier specific policies or any other guideline regarding what is alowed as far as bombs and planes are concerned?
willy Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Transporting of bombs on planes is generally frowned upon. Could you please post a picture of yourself so that we know not to board the same flight.
Jules Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I think most airlines disapprove of bombs, either in hand or check-in baggage. If you're talking CO2 cartridges, I'm not sure there is a universal policy
KlapperKnop Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Hell Rudo ... your topic title can be easily misread!!! Last year JHB-CPT had not problem about tyre bombs; however CPT-JHB seems to have a huge issue with carrying these items as hand luggage. I had my tyre bombs in my check-in luggage and there was no issue ..... KlapperKnop2009-03-10 10:00:50
KlapperKnop Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Thanks Jules ... that is actually the right wording for these bombs .... CO2 cartridges!!!
Edition 507 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Last time I checked, I think only Arabs were allowed to carry bombs on planes.

Thanks KK. And as far as I am aware, you can also carry bombs on busses, tubes and trains and to American Embassies.
bustthesickness Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 you can always try and sneak them onto the plane 'mule' style

KlapperKnop Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 you can always try and sneak them onto the plane 'mule' style problem with that is that the fuse wire will be too obvious sticking out the mouth!!!
Rudo Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 OK, sticking to CO2 cartridges then, there seems to be only confusion regarding these by security personel. CPT-DBN opened checked luggage to remove the cartridges. Only some bags though but they broke open our locks. Some were also confiscated from hand luggage and some not, regardless of the pasanger's race. Gennerally the same thing with DBN-CPT. One guy said they allow one cartrige per passanger in hand luggage but nothing in checked luggage, but I don't know whether this is the same for all carriers..
GFishy Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I found that CO2 cartridges sometimes don't work after a flight...
