The Oslo Airport in Norway has decided to pull the Flowerbomb fragrance by Viktor & Rolf from the shelves of its duty-free boutiques.

The grenade-like shape of the Flowerbomb bottle falls into the category of unauthorized items such as “weapons or objects that look like weapons” that cannot pass security controls, explains airport spokesperson to Cosmeticnews.com.

Airport’s security rules in Oslo are very tight.

“Another example is a simple child’s water gun, which is also unauthorized,” spokesperson added.

I find this hilariously funny, could you see any self respecting terrorist pulling this fake ‘grenade’ out of their handbag and threaten to stink out a plane!

“A few months ago in our local catholic church, I saw a holy card or [something] similar that depicted a contemporary ’saint’ or some other ‘venerable’ person. He was pictured standing on a rural hillside in perhaps Switzerland or Germany and was clearly ’smoking a pipe’ … Several weeks later when I thought to look again, the table had been rearranged and cleared and I could find no trace of him. I was wondering if you might know who this was?”
