Recently at Eindhoven airport my son’s (9) transparent blue pistol – that shoots out pingpong balls – got confiscated (together with ammunition) as ‘object prone for threats’.
The attached photo demonstrates the incriminated weapon, together with the utmost radical and violent (now however a little droopy) underaged international terrorist.
For me, a lawyer, it is also a heartwarming experience whenever we obey not only the letter, but also the spirit of the law, as I am convinced that thanks to the vigilance of the security personnel, after these measures all passengers could proceed to their destinations with a considerably higher level of safety.

Ma megvettem a repülőjegyeket közelgő nyaralásunkhoz. Hollandiából indulunk majd, amiről eszembe jut az a közelmúltbeli eset, mikoris a reptéri biztonsági ellenőrzés során Waltertől (9) elkobozták a világoskék áttetsző műanyag pisztolyát, ami pingpinglabdakat lő ki (a 3 db hozzátartozó lőszerrel együtt), mint “más utasokban félelem keltésére alkalmas eszközt”.
A személyzet elkötelezett éberségének hála az esetet követően már végképp teljes biztonságban éreztem magam.
A képen az inkriminált eszköz, valamint az amúgy mindenre elszánt (bár ekkorra kissé szottyadt) Kiskorú Kőrözött Nemzetközi Terrorista látható.

Having landed in my blog might mean that you are interested in topics like Family, Work, or Travelling Abroad, and if you indeed want to know more about those topics, please do visit some real blogs, due to the fact that I also write about family, travel, work, etc, however the common element of those posts being that you will for sure not find them useful, in any sense.
You will meet recurring characters, such as my daughter (2006), my son (2009), my husband, and some others (grandmas, neighbours, teachers, colleagues..) who are all very nice people, so appearing in my stories is not at all their fault..
Wanna more photos? In that case pirosbelgium (Instagram) might be the place..
