In merrie olde London, mum’s the word. At an airport, “The check-in girl had asked Budden [Jade Goody's mum] whether she was carrying anything dangerous in her bags, to which she replied, ‘Only my gun.’” The temptation for such a wisecrack is almost irresistible given that someone who did harbor something dangerous is unlikely to reveal it.
The airplane captain then refused to take her — for awhile. “It was total chaos. They went through her luggage with a fine-tooth comb. Then the captain decided he did not want her and there were some frantic calls from head office to persuade him.”
