El Reg reports [theregister.co.uk]

Cops at Stansted airport in Essex, UK, couldn't believe their eyes when a passenger turned up for a flight with what looked like a gun in his bag.

The unnamed pillock had chosen to protect his iPhone with a black case that sported a realistic-looking handgun built into the base [regmedia.co.uk]. It's difficult to see the attraction of such a gadget, since it makes the phone a pain to use--but presumably it also makes the owner feel like a bit of a pwoppa gangsta.
