Passenger could face charges after taking gun shaped phone case to the airport

On the list of things you should never, ever bring to an airport this definitely ranks pretty highly. A passenger at London Stansted airport now faces charges after carrying an iPhone case shaped like a gun.

Essex Police shared an image of the phone case on Twitter, which they confiscated from the passenger, suggesting that they could also face a public order offense for carrying an imitation firearm.

They later added an image of the phone case itself, which was discovered during a routine security search. Whether or not the passenger made their flight is unclear, but one thing’s for sure: they’ll think a little more carefully next time they select an iPhone case!
