Thirty-six flights were cancelled and 201 delayed at a Japanese airport on the weekend after a pair of scissors went missing in a store near the boarding gates.

Security checks at Hokkaido’s New Chitose Airport domestic terminal were suspended for about two hours on Saturday morning, leaving hundreds of travellers temporarily stranded.

There were huge bottlenecks and queues as passengers in the departure lounge were forced to retake security checks.

Authorities tried to locate the missing scissors, which were found at the same store the following day.

Smells like some policies are getting changed

Yup, now all scissors will have a serial number engraved on them and need to be signed out and in in a secured central environment.

Prison rules. Tether them to the work station.

You could also make the scissors so big nobody will be able to smuggle them.

Honestly this would be a more effective method than the one they went with.
