Left Pisa last night with 2 guns, packed separately, the guy on the BA check-in desk saw that I had 2 Cressi bags and asked if I had any "guns" in them, I said that I did and he called security over to get them checked, they also checked my knives as well. He said that the Italian security at airports are getting a bit over zealous at the moment and that it is much better to get them checked at check-in as it saves a load of hassle having to go down to the security rooms after the luggage has gone through the x-ray machines, this happened to me last yeat flying out of Genoa with my Underwater Scooter, spent best part of 2 hours explaning what it was, and that it wasn't a torpedo!!
