Man jailed for bullets on plane
2004-04-19
A former airport security worker has been jailed for carrying bullets on a plane which landed at Heathrow Airport. Wassila Alwasiwa, 45, of Sudanese origin, had denied the charges, saying he did not know the five bullets were in his jacket pocket.
"They ain't mine! I was framed!"

He was jailed for nine months for holding prohibited ammunition, not having a firearms certificate and having bullets without lawful authority. The bullets were discovered during a routine check at Heathrow airport. He was convicted of holding prohibited ammunition, not having a firearms certificate and having bullets without lawful authority or reasonable excuse.
Threaten to burn England down and kill anyone who ain't muslim, nothing. Get caught with five rounds in your pocket, get nine months.

#3  I don't care Steve. The idea is that it doesn't matter because every bread and butter American aught to have his own gun, legally, on the plane. Think 911 wouldv'e went down if the average Joe could pack heat?

#2  Ok, he had the bullets. Who on the plane had the barrel, who had the trigger mechanism, who had the clip, and how did all that get past security?

Well, what would you expect from a place that would prosecute someone for shooting a burglar? :)
