Honestly I never thought this would be a problem, but….
Coming home from Amsterdam on a Sunday night bound for Stansted
I was stopped by security at Schiphol airport. My Suzuki Promaster ‘C’ harp was
in my jacket pocket.
The security guy insisted I show him the content of my
pocket, he opened up the harp case and thrust the harmonica at me and ordered, “play
it”!
Well what do you do?
Other passengers stopped and gawped.
Okay, so I gave my best version of Nat Adderley’s ‘Work Song’.
The guard gave me my jacket and said nothing; his colleague
standing next to him said, “cool”. Thank you.
I also got pulled at Poitier airport. The security guy
suggested that on the x-ray they look like parts of an automatic weapon.
