I tried to wear a studded belt on my flight from Sydney to London once & they made me remove & I had to collect it at the destination. I don't know if the regulations differ greatly with domestic flights but if you love that belt I'd recommend putting it in your luggage.

if worn in concert with the cucumber wrapped in alfoil down the strides, yes.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Prohibited items (from Tiger airways, but presumably applies across the board):

Any explosive or highly combustible substance which poses a risk to the health of passengers and crew or the security/safety of aircraft or property, including: ammunition, blasting caps, detonators & fuses, explosives and explosive devices, replica or imitation explosive material or devices, mines & other explosive military store, grenades of all types

In short: No, you can't take it on the plane at all.


LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

devo it's in a bag that's in the luggage hold of the airport.

you reckon they screen every bag going through there?


LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

replica or imitation explosive material or devices

rules schmules.


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

I reckon they probably do x-ray bags. I doubt a bullet belt could be mistaken for anything else.


Mo  said about 5 years ago:

i just have always wanted one

now i finally have one it'd KILL ME to lose it


LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

nah not every one. SURELY?


LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

leave it at home then moseph.


Mo  said about 5 years ago:

yeh methinks i'll have to


le_disco  said about 5 years ago:

i dont think putting a BULLET belt in your luggage is the best idea....i reckon your only chance is actually trying to wear it onto the flight. or get one of the other guys to wear it.

if they see something that looks like bullets in your bag, theyre going to crack the shits even more than just trying to wear it on...


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

just buy another one down here

keep one in each city


michael_horse  said about 5 years ago:

or mail it down, express post .. you have time


Modi  said about 5 years ago:

Man, I've had to take my shoes off on a domestic flight because I had long hair.

I wouldn't try to wear a bullet belt through the check in, and there's no way they would let you carry it on the plane.

i was only joking, sorry, seriously procrastinating here.

you guys are cool, and nothing like nickelback!

we're ALL fashion victims, in that in a way we're all kinda slavish to our own image/fashion. whatever that means.

the moral to your story is, if you take your bullet belt on the plane, don't forget your shotgun garter!


katiepotatie  said about 5 years ago:

hahahahahahahahaha

mo finally got the joke! crisis averted?


Mo  said about 5 years ago:

gardenia i know you were joking

no crisis averted katie i'm gonna send some hardcore pipe hittin bitches to take care of you

katiepotatie  said about 5 years ago:

gardenia you sure were lucky.....

not in italy apparently

Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent was arrested yesterday and charged for a weapons offence...after the Italian police confiscated his bullet belt.
After police in Italy had checked Vincent's luggage and found the belt, 15-20 armed officers lead the Morbid Angel singer to a holding cell where he was questioned for two and a half hours.
''I asked them again and again if they were kidding but they said no,'' said a shell-shocked Vincent to Metal Hammer's own Joel McIver. ''The belt is obviously not made of real bullets. Metal is clearly not fashionable in the fashion centre of Europe.''
The bullet belt was given to Vincent in 1989 to celebrate his band signing with Earache.
''My comment is this,'' said Vincent in summary. ''For 20 years I've had my same friendly bullet-belt with me at all metal occasions. After 20 years of being a lawless individual, I'm happy that the Keystone Kops of spaghetti western fame have been able to show me the error of my ways.''

So, I'm planning on bringing a bullet belt back from Europe with me. Will I be able to get it into the country? All signs are pointing to NO. :d


Mo  said about 2 years ago:

wow check out some of miss katie's recent posts...what a winner of a person

fzchk - you can order online check ebay, proper bullet belts, and delivered to aus for like 80 - 100 bucks


TransientRandom  said about 2 years ago:

A friend once bought a belt buckle that was in the shape on a gun. A flat, metal, gun shape. totally non-functional, and in no way even resembling anything that could fire a projectile. Confiscated at LAX.

I reckon it sounds pretty fugly though, and it was probably the fashion cops that got her.


fzchk  said about 2 years ago:

Excellent. Now all I have to do is cut all the sleeves off all my black metal t-shirts and my crusty transformation will be complete!

But for the sake of argument. If I did buy one in Churmany would I be able to get it back?


Mo  said about 2 years ago:

it would have to be checked baggage, and then you're just taking a chance you can get it through

if i were you and i wanted to get it through

i would tick ''items to declare'' and then when they ask - you show packaged food, like chocolate and stuff like that... you're less likely to get a full search when you check the ''items to declare''

but you're taking a chance...


fzchk  said about 2 years ago:

Last time I did that, I must admit it was a pretty weak search (this was 10 years ago) and the customs agent told me I should have brought back more beer.

what would Lemmy do?


fzchk  said about 2 years ago:

I'll use the big silver and black phone on my desk marked ''for Motorhead emergencies only''.

I had a skateboard deck (just the deck, in plastic) as carry-on between Japan and Australia... then had to check it in between Brisbane and Adelaide.

Bloody Qantas.
