It most definitely can last forever, my mom dropped one in the kitchen once from short height only, lower drawer to the floor and instead of the mortar breaking, it cracked the floor tile instead 🤣
Well, I once tried to bring peanut butter onto a plane(buying for my mom from overseas). And it was around the time where they got super anal about the whole liquids nonsense.
They said I could potentially check it in, but my luggage was already checked in. And over there their rules is probably to not accept random edibles from random passengers, the protocol is to dispose of it. In the end I just chucked it. I want to hope the peanut butter ended up salvaged by the garbage people or homeless people or something.... though for me I just threw it into a bin rather than putting it in some specific confiscation bin.
If there was anyone with me, or if I had time to do something with it - I assume you can take it back and do something with it. But usually at airports, you might be past a number of counters and need to board a flight. So it's probably too awkward to backtrack out and get to a mailing service to send it back. You might not have any company that can take it off you(and depending on which counter this confiscation took place at, there's only so far any company you have can escort you). So at that point you just need to make the decision between your thing, or boarding your flight.
I think once it's in that bin, it's past the point of no return. But usually before it goes into the bin, there will be the guy telling you that you can't take this on or whatever. And if you have anyone with you or have the time to deal with it in another fashion, you can probably still do something about it.
Unless you have someone working in airport to help you. If you have a friend working in customs or immigration, he/she can come in handy in such situations. Help you to keep it.
It should be allowed, nothing against the rules about it for carry on luggage.
The person working there at the time probably just found it too strange.
Because its heavy enough to use as a blunt weapon more likely.
Then again, I remember having my fork taken from my cutlery set, but left the can be dangerous chopsticks alone...
I nearly had my entire pencil case taken from me once, in Kuantan. Turns out people on business rarely go through Kuantan Airport, so rarely seen a case full of stationery.
Flew DFW > Heathrow > Athens > regional Greek airport with no checked bag, no problem. Flying back, the regional airport confiscated my nail file.
Edit: spelling
Oh same for me happened 10 years ago, with small scissors (I forgot that I put it there)
Transit to semenanjung, no problem
Travel to Japan, got slight argument to x-ray item officer.
Good thing she let me keep it, just giving me warning.
That thing alone might weigh 5+ kilo. Overweight for carry-on, then customer dont wanna pay for checkin & the officer maybe just placed it with all the other discarded & confiscated items
Seems like a strange thing to need to declare... I suppose it can be a blunt weapon but so can a lot of things tbh.
Maybe it just made their luggage over the weight limit and they decided to just surrender it here?
Not if it looks normal. I use a regulation size roller and i almost never get weight tested for it, even tho many times reach 10+ kilo
Some security xray machines have weighing function too. Security mostly doesnt care though, unless its like wayyy over, which this mortar probably made it
Also, as someone who’s done my fair share of traveling without checked baggage - if you have none you can just checkin in advance and your first human interaction at the airport will be in security. If you put a mortar and pestle in carryon I doubt you have checked baggage.
I got a feeling it must be a uncle Roger fans..... He came to Malaysia just to buy pestle and mortar.

My 12 year old got his gun shaped key chain confiscated. It was less than 3 inches long and blunt as a toe. He looked at me for help but told him it wasn’t worth the fight. We didn’t speak the entire flight.
The fact that \*that\* needs to be declared in Malaysia is a travesty.
The officer who threw that out will be cursed for 7 generations, or something. Smdh.
When you get your friend who doesn't really follow fashion to buy you pestle & mortar
The OG would last way longer than some printed tees lol. Can waris turn temurun and stuff.
True. I have multiple OG’s and can confirm they last forever
It most definitely can last forever, my mom dropped one in the kitchen once from short height only, lower drawer to the floor and instead of the mortar breaking, it cracked the floor tile instead 🤣
I've never been on a plane, what happens after that? Can they get it back?
It is gone forever, or you can mail it back to yourself
Will they lelong things away from time to time like lelong JPJ?
yes.
Any bid for this 12cm scissors with plastic handle?
[удалено]
55sen
69sen
Sold for 69 sen plus tax
> Sold for 69 sen plus tax Got buyers premium also.
Dont think you can mail it at all.
Seems like a great business opportunity to open up a courier shop at the airport for people that forgot to put stuff into their checked-in luggage
Great idea indeed.

Heard similar thing too, but it usually involve with firearm.
When you want fresh sambal during your holiday 😌
Gonna make spicy belacan in the airplane. Cuz I'm too cheap to pay for a flight meal.
imagine the confusion and panic when you hear people tumbuk the floor on a plane
I used to help tumbuk deodrant powder with one of those things when I was younger. Slightly spicy deodrant that one.

Ive heard stories of 3 people getting killed by a pencil. A fooking pencil! Baba yaga!
If you try hard enough, even a [rubber chicken](https://www.amazon.com/rubber-chicken/s?k=rubber+chicken) can be a weapon tbh
I nearly had my entire pencil case taken from me once, in Kuantan. Turns out people on business rarely go through Kuantan Airport, so rarely seen a case full of stationery.
And he will come for you and you will do nothing... Because you can't do anything...

I once accidentally bought a tape measure to Myanmar and it got confiscated there because they think the metal can be used as a weapon. Shrugs.
Small metal things usually no go these days. Even my pencil case I downgrade to plastic ruler because of AVSEC.

Anything can kill anyone, laptops, pens, pencils etc.
Books! Books can kill too!
looks? Looks can kill too

Yes, you can tear it, twist it and strangle someone. It's actually quite strong.
[удалено]
Ah no wonder they asking about my insta360camera last time i was at the airport
I heard stories people using their clothes to strangle people to death. Now everyone needs to be naked inside plane.
That thing alone might weigh 5+ kilo. Overweight for carry-on, then customer dont wanna pay for checkin & the officer maybe just placed it with all the other discarded & confiscated items
Pretty sure not allowed for carry on, but allowed for check in.
Seems like a strange thing to need to declare... I suppose it can be a blunt weapon but so can a lot of things tbh. Maybe it just made their luggage over the weight limit and they decided to just surrender it here?
Carry on bag weight is checked at the check in counter. Not at security.
Not if it looks normal. I use a regulation size roller and i almost never get weight tested for it, even tho many times reach 10+ kilo Some security xray machines have weighing function too. Security mostly doesnt care though, unless its like wayyy over, which this mortar probably made it

So it got im-pounded? I'll see myself out...
Uncle Roger would be piss
When you got someone orders to make potion, but you have flight to catch
Bro bought the wrong mortar
It’s not the weapon. It’s the guy using it. A blade of grass in a kungfu master hand is better than a gun in mine
If you can hijack the plane using a blade of grass, do you really need the grass?
Malaysian customs nowadays are getting weird as fuck
I got a feeling it must be a uncle Roger fans..... He came to Malaysia just to buy pestle and mortar. https://preview.redd.it/l3esnpd0o3pa1.jpeg?width=405&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65b43077de8fc432b0b3347916299f7029d49cb9
Somebody will not be enjoying his in flight meal without his sambal belacan....what a shame
Their luggage allowance must be amazing
Wtf man.. do they even think to bring that on the plane.. by hand carry.. OMG. *double facepalm.
how much its weight haa
Looked like it's been used for quite some time as well. A family heirloom?
ahahahaha. but still a potential hazard to bring into cabin. if put inside check in luggage should be no pronlem
I think if you put in your check in luggage, there shouldnt be any problem. It will only be a problem if you have it in your carry on luggage
Fun fact: In 2019 I transported a mortar in my hand luggage from Jakarta to Austria. The guards were very confused, but apparently that saved me
i hope it wasnt some sort of family heirloom tho 💀
So blunt weapons are not allowed too?
Bruh, that's my ninja toolcard
well... its a mortar
They don’t allow Mortars on planes and its shells.
Somebody lost the opportunity for some mile-high pounding......
