Security seems a bit backwards to me
We will let "dangerous, illegal weapons" into the country, but not let them out and I bet they are auctioned off to some dealer who stamps the "F" on and resells them.
Security isn't backwards, you get checked when you get on the plane...in YOUR OWN country not on entry unless the customs guys decide to pull you over, all the people getting pulled/caught whatever you want to call it were flying OUT so had to go through the checks. It all depends on who is checking things, I have flown home from the states and been told it was not going on the plane (hold) etc but always it has been overruled. But all the times I have had an issue flying HOME is when I have gone to the airport straight after an event all the times I have flown a couple of days later the scanning people just say "oh it's another paintball thing, we have had loads through already that's fine" so it pays to fly home a couple of days AFTER events not immediately. The German situation is a different thing altogether as the rules have been in place for some time..ignorance is no defence, and when this was first announced I seem to recall it was when we had the P8 forum without the login for user names needed
Remember it is always the other guy who doesn't get stopped, now this is more widely known about I would suggest you give Mr Sosta some work, or don't go to Germany.
Canada has a tabled motion to do a similar thing (actually marker registration) for several years but it hasn't happened....yet.
