Via a comment on Tom Kyte’s blog. He has a post about them trying to search his laptop for porn at the border and not being able to figure out the computer. In the comments one poster talks about the stupidest thing he’s seen at customs.
…the strangest thing I have seen was during the UK’s binary liquid explosive scare a security guard confiscating bottles of liquid and pouring the contents into a large container, then handing the empty bottles back.

When I was truck driving, I had to go into Canada once. My pepper spray was confiscated because it was a “dangerous offensive weapon.” Right.
Then the customs goofball asked me if I wanted the sheath back.
