Tape mixup
Just last month I was traveling through Inverness airport. Innocently I had an old roll of Gaffer Tape in my hand luggage (always useful so just lives in bottom of my rucksack).

Get to security and my bag doesn't appear the other side of the x-ray. I get called over by a little jobs worth who asks me if this is my bag. What now I ponder? She pulls out the roll of gaffer tape and asks.
"This yours"?
"Shit" thinks I, thinking any minute armed response will appear thinking me some terrorist about to tie up the sky marshal secreted on board. I knew I shouldn't have grown a beard.

Luckily they realized I was no terrorist and confiscated my tape. But nowhere is Gaffer listed as a banned item, I want them to replace the roll (now I am no longer scared of armed response).

Anyway that is my tape mix(up)
