As long as nobody ran with them everything should work out fine.
*“Mr. Lumbergh told me to talk to payroll and then payroll told me to talk to Mr. Lumbergh and I still haven’t received my paycheck and he took my stapler and he never brought it back and then they moved my desk to the quarantine room and there was garbage on it, so I took Mr. Lumbergh’s scissors from his desk and placed it in his suit case so they’re going to shut down the whole airport. And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…”*
Imagine being the minimum wage employee who shut down an entire airport
Rock and paper deny responsibility.
Yeah, I was going to make some dumb comment about rock and paper but it’s better to cut through the chaff of the story.
> Thirty six flights were cancelled and 201 delayed at a Japanese airport on the weekend after a pair of scissors went missing in a store near the boarding gates.
…
> Authorities tried to locate the missing scissors, which were found at the same store the following day.
edit: changed ‘cut to’ to ‘cut through’
People don’t play around about scissors going missing I guess
It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but can you imagine someone took them on the flight and went insane on it?
Stabbing anybody they could?
Wouldnt a hijacker or terrorist be able to just buy the scissors and board a plane? The store seems to be right there at the boarding gates
I’d risk a scissors waving maniac on the plane. Just don’t delay my plane
You joke, but I needed a scissor past security once. The thing is attached to a reception desk by a very short chain. I have to bring my item that need cutting there because they’re not allowed to move it from there.
I can’t imagine being on a flight that was cancelled over a not missing scissors
Japan airport security made me throw out scissors that were 10.1 cm long. The limit is 10cm.
They take the rules very seriously.
This is why Japanese products are so reliable. They follow SOP to the extreme no matter what.
No running AND flying with scissors!!
It was The Acclaimed.
Full accountability, we all need more of it.
Bringing Enviroment Activist on some serious ideas
Glad everything worked out in the end, though. And seriously, imagine being that employee who inadvertently triggered a major airport shutdown what a stressful day that must have beeen!
I once needed a blister-type packaging opened at Narita airside, after security. This required the supervision of two managers witnessing a stubby pair of scissors that were locked and chained below the counter. Japan doesn’t mess around.
It’s hilarious how there’s this level of panic over some scissors and then you go to business class and they’re handing out metal knifes and forks and glass cups 10 min after takeoff.
But…but, “Kill Bill” taught me that airlines in Japan have Katana holders built into the seat…
If the scissors are such a security concern, they should be wired tied to a table.
I didn’t do it
Scissor me timbers
Nobody is hijacking a plane with scissors. It is impossible in today’s world.
This is how I roll when stuff goes missing. Could be the most ridiculously unimportant thing n I’ll tear my whole place apart to find it, all the while preventing me from getting very important things done.
When I was leaving Seoul airport some years ago, security was very concerned about my beard trimming scissors. Thankfully they were several mm shorter than the regulation, so they were returned. They were still very pointy and could easily be used for an assault. Oh, the worrying.
running with scissors is a no-no. flying, on the other hand…
I took a flight from ishigaki to fukuoka a couple months ago
They found a kitchen knife on a second screening in an idiot’s bag or something like that 5 minutes before boarding or even in the middle of the boarding
The entire airport including those already waiting for their plane had to go through second screening which delayed the flight by around 1-2 hours if i remember correctly
I don’t know if i like the how thorough the Japanese are or annoyed by it
Like a smart guy once said: “sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit”
*Authorities tried to locate the missing scissors, which were found at the same store the following day.*
”Anji-san I bought you the pair of scissors … can’t find them anywhere..”
Cancelled for FOD or cause of the possibility someone could attempt harm?
Ah, memories of flying before 9/11.
Don’t touch my stapler.
Mt mother wasn’t kidding when I was growing up. If I had run with scissors it might have caused 9-11 to have happened early.
So why are they selling “dangerous” scissors in a store at the airport?
