That’s why you never bring a knife to a bomb threat.

If he had a bomb, wouldn’t the knife be redundant?

Given what happened at Gatwick (it now appears that maybe, uh, there never was a drone), are we sure there was a guy with a knife?

If you don’t have a knife, how do you stop someone from taking your bomb away?

Hall 3 is where a lot of the big carriers arrive/depart from like KLM and it’s always a shit show. I’m sure this didn’t help with that.

More oddly: Man brings knife to own bomb fight.

@Marechaussee is the Dutch gendarmerie; the regular police are @Politie.

Needless to say though, this person was taken aside and given a good review of his character sheet and those of the police and transport agents so that they could have a balanced match with more human-scale evacuations next time.
