Okay, time for German customs horror story!

>Brother is going to a trip to Japan for two weeks
>comes back, airport security takes him aside
>"We found something suspicious in your luggage, please proceed to the customs"
>What.jpeg
>turns out they found a throwing star (Shuriken) in his luggage
>It's very obviously cheaply made from plastic, just some tourist crap he bought for the lulz
>"Sorry, this is illegal, you are violating weapon laws"
>brother tries to explain that this is just obviously plastic crap for children, cheap Halloween costume-tier
>"No, this is a dangerous weapon!"
>They have to call my mom because brother is underage
>Mom and brother have to spend 2 1/2 hours at the custom office
>plastic star gets confiscated
>brother gets a legal complaint because he violated weapon law

Bonus story:
>Brother had an extra bag with him just filled with animu stuff
>custom offiver looks inside, hopes to find more dangerous stuff
>sees half naked figurines, plastic merchandise, weeaboo food, more naked figurines and lewd posters
>immediately closes bag and pretends it doesn't exist
Thank God, or else my brother would have ended up with hundreds of Euros of customs as well.
