So we are running late for a train from London to Paris. We have three minutes to get our bags checked and run through to the train. Time is of the absolute essence. Then the trouble starts.
"Beep, beep, beep" goes the metal detector as Troy walks through. I assumed it must have been his belt, so thought nothing of it.
As it turns out, Troy had a 3 inch swiss knife on his belt. Just because he always does. As he admitted it was his, he was informed that this was infact a violation to be carrying this and that the police would be called and he would now be arrested.
To worsen his case, he just got his eyebrow pierced and looks remarkably dodgy.
Luckily, a large and endearing black lady came over. She had a good morning. She decided that they would be better to just confiscate it and let Troy go.
No jail time. Also no train as it was long missed.
It was one of those things that was quite scary at the time, hilarious now.
