Требования к перевозке холодного оружия в багаже самолета
Обычно при соблюдении требований по перевозке ножей, а также других режущих и колющих предметов, проблем и трудностей с провозом холодного оружия не возникает. Когда человек собирается в рейс, то в списке полезных вещей, взятых с собою, может стать нож, маникюрные принадлежности или станок для бритья. Из-за того, что правила перевоза подобных вещей строгие, большая часть авиакомпаний, отвечая на вопрос, можно ли провозить нож в багаже самолета, дает отрицательный ответ. Но это касается только тех случаев, когда предмет несет угрозу причинения вреда жизни и здоровью пассажиров.
