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.

Security checks at Hokkaido’s New Chitose Airport domestic terminal were suspended for about two hours on Saturday morning, leaving hundreds of travellers temporarily stranded.

There were huge bottlenecks and queues as passengers in the departure lounge were forced to retake security checks.

Authorities tried to locate the missing scissors, which were found at the same store the following day.

Yup, now all scissors will have a serial number engraved on them and need to be signed out and in in a secured central environment.

Prison rules. Tether them to the work station.

Commiting Seppuku with scissors would suck.

Their concern is that the scissors could be used as a weapon to hijack planes. I’m not entirely sure how founded that concern is but people in Japan seem relatively fine with the whole situation so whatever.

Through the warped lense of what modern security theater has sold their leaders on? Sure, why not?

I didn’t read the article fully and didn’t realize that the missing scissors were post security, I don’t know how an American airport would respond to this kind of event

Y’know, fair, I have reconsidered my point, I realized I don’t know how an American airport would respond to missing scissors after the gate, I’m certainly not motivated by some upvotes
