They took away 2 tiny 'allen' keys which we had accidentally left in our hand luggage, after making up a child's chair for the villa. These were identified on the x-ray machine and our luggage searched. Didn't seem like a dangerous weapon to us, although I suppose we could have stuck them up the pilot's nose, had we had access to him.

However, the very thin glasses Virgin used for our drinks shattered into extremely dangerous shards and would, we thought have been potentially a lethal weapon - and there were hundreds of them on board and freely available!

Not sure if virtual cross stitch would have the same satisfaction as the real thing, though. All that grappling with threading a small needle takes a lot of beating!
