Man passes Norwegian airport security with a gun - report
M2 Communications


A Norwegian man reportedly passed through two airport security controls with
a pistol and ammunition in his hand luggage in Norway. 

Odd Harald Hauge, an entrepreneur and former editor and owner of the
Norwegian online news service Nettavisen, was reportedly on his way back
from Svalbard to Oslo when he forgot that he had a signal pistol and shells
in the side pocket of his backpack, and only remembered them when unpacking
the bag. 

At one of the check points he had to remove a knife from his hand luggage,
but the gun was not detected. 

The Norwegian airport operator Avinor was shocked by the news and would
conduct a thorough investigation into the incident, Nettavisen reported.
