You can't make this up. A toy soldier who had a small 3 inch toy rifle was considered a security threat. Wonder if they would have evacuated if it was a plastic toy knife?

The crouching, camouflaged figure is most certainly armed. But few would say he was dangerous.
Security officials disagreed however when he passed through a scanner at Gatwick Airport.
His three-inch, plastic toy gun was branded a firearm and banned from a transatlantic flight.
