RE: 40 Hours on a Train in China! First Experience of Uyghur Culture | Xinjiang, China
& again you were lucky. Taking the knife onto the train? The policeman monitoring the scanner was probably playing on his phone (or asleep). Or, well, I don't know, maybe your knife is too small to be noticed...
Hey. Thanks for your comment. We have the knife as we camp a lot and need it for cooking. Two possible reasons why we got it through. 1) It was packed inside other metal things and at an angle that would be less visible. 2) they looked at us and probably couldn't be bothered! Haha
Actually, your #2 is not as improbable as it may seem. Happened to me sometimes that some security guy wanted me to (not) do something, saw that I was a foreigner & just ignored me. Although, more often, they would say something & when I didn't understand right away what they wanted, they just waved at me to leave them alone.
