Vilnius Airport's 'Easter Egg' warning

Paul Heymont 4/10/232:00 PM

If you're flying out of Lithuania's Vilnius International Airport, you'll get a colorful reminder of what you shouldn't be trying to carry aboard, in the form of a giant Easter egg made of confiscated items.'

Officials at its unveiling posted that "Lithuanian airports decided to remind their passengers about aviation safety in the most unexpected way. As of starting [the] new summer season, Vilnius International Airport greets its’ passengers with a festive art piece—a colorful Easter egg made from items that are not permitted on board."

Standing about 5 feet tall, the sculpture includes objects such as knives, scissors, lighters, and razor blades, as well as packs of sparklers and other fireworks. The idea for the 'egg' came from Algirdas Venzlauskas, a shift manager at Vilnius Airport security department.
