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.

Imagine being the store clerk having to tell them that.
Imagine being the store clerc who misplaced them

Smells like some policies are getting changed
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.
You could also make the scissors so big nobody will be able to smuggle them.
Honestly this would be a more effective method than the one they went with.
Commiting Seppuku with scissors would suck.
I’d’ve definitely hid those scissors.
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.
I’m not entirely sure how founded that concern is
Like many post 9/11 rules, probably not very…
If the power of thoughts were real the people that stole or misplaced the scisors.would be dead
Japanese efficiency ladies and gentlemen
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
ha ha racism funny! Me smart. Upvote now.
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
