Ever think the airport security is a little too tight? Perhaps you have wondered why on earth you would need to have your cell phone x-rayed? Well maybe this video will shed some light on the situation:
Wikipedia:
While most improvised firearms are single shot, multiple shot version are also encountered. The simplest multi-shot zip guns are derringer-like, and consist of a number of single shot zip guns attached together. In late 2000, European police encountered a four shot .22 LR zip gun disguised as a cellphone, where different keys on the keypad fire different barrels. Because of this discovery, cellphones are now x-rayed by airport screeners worldwide. They are believed to be manufactured in Croatia, and were still being found in Europe as late as 2004, according to a report by Time magazine.
