    Was looking forward to watching this - some intersting bits.

    But very disappointed to see Customs referring to fixed blade hunting knives as "daggers", a folding knife with spring assist as a "flick-knife" and a catapault as an "offensive weapon".
    You can buy all of these in any hunting shop in Ireland.

    They confiscated them from the people they caught with that in their carry on luggage.

    So - for my fellow deer hunters - how many "daggers" do you carry when you hunt deer!! ;)

    What were these utter fukwitts doing taking this stuff in carry on luggage in the first place??You are that daft you deserve to have it taken off you and for customs to kick you up and down the hall.:rolleyes:

    They should have got a bollicking for the throwing stars.

    But their bag were hold luggage, not carry on.

    Geeeshh! Does this sound like "made up TV" or what??Cant belive anyone in this day and age would bother bringing those toys back when a much better ,sharper and even better steel,not to mind cheaper alternative is freely available in every DIY store in the wood working section?
    Now I must go and sharpen my "dagger" for possible use on a deer
