From another article: "when he tried to take the £135 keepsake through Gatwick Airport..."

That's a $214.70 collectible, bought from a MILITARY MUSEUM gift shop. They "snapped the gun off."
The SA80 is the rifle British soldiers carry. Supposedly they're the GOOD GUYS.
"Achmed, prepare your sockful of sh!t. We are going to conquer the British. They announce themselves to be ready for it."

The gun smuggler bought pistols at $500 and sold them in Britain for up to 5,000 pounds. That's $8,000. EACH.
Supply and demand.

"Lax airport security."
That COULD be called ... freedom?
