Hey all.
I will be flying over to the UK from France soon to visit friends. I was going to take my Necron army with me but they are magnetised. Has anyone had any problems/ experience with taking (rare earth) magnetized armies in hand baggage onto flights within europe?

Cheers Vim

I once took a magnetic chess set in my hand luggage, they needed to do a hand inspection because the magnets disrupted the scanning machine.

Have you checked the airline or airport's website for any policy?

I once took a complete set of human organs through airport security and they didn't seem to care.

Im pretty sure theyre just going to inspect whats inside cause the magnets probably will disrupt the sensor. Just tell them what you have inside and you should be fine after they check
