'This bag contains a bomb, a gun and loads of drugs': Tourist shocks fellow travellers at airport by sporting bag with a joke message
- The traveller, thought to be Dutch, was spotted walking through airport security
- A fellow passenger at Kuala Lumpur airport shared a snap of the shocking bag
- The passenger reportedly passed through airport security without incident
Anyone who has ever passed through airport security will be aware that the staff aren't known for their sense of humour.
As such, a traveller heading through Kuala Lumpur airport recently with a bag that claimed to contain weapons and drugs was dicing with trouble.
A shocked onlooker shared a snap online of the tourist, thought to be Dutch, after spotting the joke message, which read: 'This bag contains a bomb, a gun, a very large knife and loads of drugs.’

The bag is available from the Berlin-based clothing company ApeWear and can be bought from Amazon for £9.50.
A passenger who witnessed the bag-toting traveller heading through security told The Sun: 'It beggars belief that people can be so stupid in this day and age of heightened security in the face of terrorist attacks.
'But saying that, the guy got through okay so they clearly didn't notice the message on the bag.'
It was a lucky escape for the holidaymaker as there have been several incidents in recent years when passengers have been arrested for joking about guns and bombs at airport check-in.

Just last month MailOnline reported that a man sparked a major airport security alert after allegedly making a joke about his mother-in-law and a bomb.
The alarm was sounded when the unnamed 62-year-old reportedly went up to the Latam Airlines desk at Tucuman International Airport in north-west Argentina and said: 'I've come to wait for my mother-in-law.
'If the plane crashes, it's because I put a bomb on board.'
In November, a pair of revellers on a stag do missed their trip abroad after claiming there was a bomb on the plane that they were about to board in Scotland.
The men were about to fly to Alicante from Glasgow in June to celebrate their friend's wedding when they allegedly made the claims to other passengers.
The police were contacted and concerned officers raced to the scene but found the pair asleep on the floor in the departure lounge.
MailOnline has contacted ApeWear for comment.
