False Leg Raises Alarm At Heathrow Airport

Searching passengers false legs is now standard procedure at the UK’s flagship airport. Because the scanners cannot see inside prosthetic’s, passengers are now expected to display their limb and have an official ‘swab’ it in case it contains explosives.

Heather Mills, once the wife of Sir. Paul McCartney, set alarm bells a-ringing whilst passing through Heathrow to visit the US.

A spokes-person for BAA , the company that owns Heathrow , said:

“ She was swabbed because something set off the alarm in the metal detector archway. Staff could not see inside the leg so it was swabbed instead. This would be the same protocol as if a passenger had a broken arm or leg.”
