At the international airport in Lima, you have to go though security even if you just got off another international flight and are going to a gate in the same terminal. While I was going through security there, I noticed they had a large, clear, plastic box full of confiscated items. Along with the expected pocket knives and manicure equipment were, I kid you not, a bow and arrow, a wrench, and a crowbar. Now, I can understand if you bought a bow and arrow as a neat example of Amazonian handy work and didn't want to put it in your checked bags for fear that it might be to delicate to survive the rough treatment of baggage handles, but a wrench and a crowbar? What are you going to do on a plane with a wrench and a crow bar?
Clearly I had way to much time in the Lima airport given that I spent the brain power thinking and writing about this, but if this is the most memorable part of a 24+ hour journey, I think I am not doing so bad.
