We all know that after 9/11, the notion of security in United states airports took a very different meaning. The passengers have since been prohibited from carrying even the small knives in their hand carry. It is the responsibility of the security at U.S. airports, to ensure that the passengers board the airplanes without any weapons or explosives. During the security search of the passengers, the security officials have been able to recover some outrightly strange arms from the passengers. Here, the french magazine the PROTEGOR (the magazine of self-defense) makes you discover nine such strange arms. 

1. Firearms
