Chinese Woman Caught With A 3-Inch Knife In Her Hair By Airport Securities (Photos)

A Chinese passenger tried to take a fruit knife on the plane by hiding the three-inch-long blade in her hair. Her trick was however discovered when she went through the metal detector at Kunming Changshui International airport, southwest China, on October 6 as she was returning back to her country after a holiday.

The middle-aged woman claimed she wanted to use the knife to cut fruit while waiting to board the plane.

The bizarre scene was captured by a security camera at the airport's security gates. The footage shows the woman, who remained unidentified, using the knife to secure her hair bun. The handle of the knife could be seen sticking out of her hair. She deliberately touched the knife to make sure her bun was in place before going through the security gate. Surprisingly, the alarm went off as she passed the metal detector.

A female office was seen examining the passenger's head and found that a knife had been concealed. The knife was taken from her and confiscated. However, it's unclear if she was arrested or would face any penalties.
