After surfing through Yahoo Canada, my eye caught a banner advertisement of the Canadian Transport Security Authority . As you can see from the ad (See above=), Canadian's are to be educated on what and what they can't bring onboard. To check out the list of items which are permitted and not permitted, it is quite interesting to see what the Government officals decided as 'permitted objects' on airplanes.

Here is a list of all 'permitted objects' which can be checked in:

- Corkscrews, other than those with attched knives.(You might get thirsty midway through a flight, so what better way to drink your wine then to have a corksrew handy :)

-Knitting Needles (Yes, if Grandma needs these then the Canadian officials say it is ok! This could be a potential weapon! Duh....)

-Sports Raquets (such as tennis, squash and racquetball) (So this means that it is fully ok toclub someone during the flight!)

- Umbrellas, Walking Canes, Whips (!) (Can you imagine that whips are aloud on board? Who in heaven sits on the board of the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority? S&M freaks or whip interest groups? You tell me....

It would be interesting to hear from other blogger's about the laws in their country on travelling. If you can take a whip onboard in Canada, what might you be able to take on board in Swaziland or the Cayman Islands.....
