Ive decided to give taking weapons on to a plane a miss but deciced theat the following can be improvised from 100% legal items:
Suit case with wheels- battering ram/used to knock evil guy over
unopened fizzed up softdrink can- instead of pepperspray
shoelace- handcuffs/whip
coin on a chain- mace

Is that from James Bond, or Jerry Lewis??? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Although, a handful of change in a sock makes a very effective blackjack.

The last british aircraft I looked over had 3 turret positions with .303 machineguns. While your on BA listening to the Flower Duet from Lakme just close your eyes and relax. You forgot the vodka martini, shaken not stirred to the eyes young man <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />.

How about a bottle of wine (Thunderbird anyone?) or a walking cane? I just couldn't waste a bottle of good scotch on a thug, so it would have to be wine.

cheers

How about a small bottle with dehydrated, powdered pig blood? They won't be so willing to go to Allah when they've been defiled.

pork rinds might do, I don't know where to get dehydrated powdered pig blood, although, it might be a good thing to have

People, We have members in good standing of the islamic faith. I would also point out pigs are also 'trafe' in Judaism and this is potentially offensive to that community. I am moving this thread to the campfire. Be afraid, Be very afraid.

Chris, Thank you for straightening things out. I am NOT Islamic and was getting offended too.....

If you want a self-defense weapon that you always carry with you, use the one on the bottom end of your leg.

And I'm not talking about kicking with your toe unless you're into ballet.

You know how you stomp on a tree branch to get it to fit in the campfire? Use it on your enemy's knee, aiming at the front or side of his knee, and do your best to fold his knee in the wrong direction.

I can tell you that it will put someone down and it hurts like h***. Properly administered, it will rip the tendons and the former-terrorist-now-victim won't be going anywhere in a hurry, if he can move at all.

He may be able to protect his eyes and his groin, but he can't do diddly about his knees.

Good tip, Sue... that's always been my favorite fallback move if the guy's bigger or meaner than me, but be forwarned... doing stuff like this is a quick way to build a reputation as someone NOT to be fooled with <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
