4- Lipstick stun gun
So some say travelling alone as a female can be frightening. So instead of learning self defense and staying out of dark alleyways, one woman decided to bring her lovely lipstick taser with her. This was found in the woman’s back in Vermout. The exact voltage was 350,000 volts!
3- 4 grenades
A passenger tried to board a flight with four grenades in his bag. Obviously, they were confiscated, and the man was arrested.
