Plane passenger stopped at Stansted with iPhone case shaped like a gun
An air passenger was stopped at Stansted Airport yesterday after being spotted with an iPhone case shaped like a gun.
Essex Police tweeted a picture of the device and suggested that the unidentified traveller could have been mistaken for a terrorist and shot by armed officers.
A second tweet added: “Bringing this to an airport makes it much less likely you’ll catch your plane. #dontbedaft.”
It is not clear whether the device was actually sticking out of its owner’s pocket when it was spotted.
“[The picture] is for illustration only and for thought only. The item was located during a routine security search,” added Essex Police.
It did not confirm whether the passenger would face further action but suggested that they might be charge with “Sec 5 Public Order and possibly Sec 19 Possession of Imitation Firearm in a Public Place.”
Other Twitter users registered their incredulity. “I've seen some daft things in my time at Stansted but that's just pure stupidity,” said one.
“The Common Sense gene is recessive in SO many people,” added another.
It is not the first time the same gun-shaped iPhone case, available online from around £10, has landed its owner in hot water.
Last summer, the Winnipeg Sun reported that a 34-year-old man was confronted by police armed with rifles and tasers after the novelty item was spotted. It was confiscated, but the man did not face charges.
“Cell phone case shaped like a gun = terrible idea,” said Royal Canadian Mounted Police at the time.
