Best known for playing British superspy James Bond from 1995's "GoldenEye" to 2002's "Die Another Day," Pierce Brosnan's 2015 had been fairly easygoing, as the only times he made headlines were when hismodel son Dylan made an appearance - up until a recent airport security incident put his name back on news outlets.
As he prepared to fly from the Burlington International Airport in Vermont, Pierce Brosnan's 2015 got a bit complicated when the airport's security found he had a 25 cm (10 inch) hunting knife in his hand luggage, a major threat in airport security, and he was prevented from taking his flight.
According to BBC, agents from the Transportation Security Administration took Pierce Brosnan's 2015 knife from his hand luggage, indicating to him that the object, along with any other sharp items longer than 4 inches, had to travel with him on his checked baggage instead of his carry-on.
The Daily Mail reports that during the Pierce Brosnan 2015 incident the actor was traveling to Detroit with his youngest son with wife Keely Shaye Smith, 14 year-old Paris, when he was pulled aside by a TSA officer when the weapon showed up in the scan for his carry-on shoulder bag.
It has been reported that, during the Pierce Brosnan 2015 ordeal, the actor was visibly upset and could be heard saying "I can't believe they're doing this."
In fact, the weapon was a wooden knife, but as The Telegraph reports, there are strong prohibitions for any kind of knife onboard of airplanes (unless they're rubber or plastic butter ones) due to the increasingly heavy prohibitions in the post-9/11 world.
It appears that after Brosnan was stopped for a short time and the Pierce Brosnan 2015 incident was ultimately resolved, the Bond actor was ultimately allowed to continue his path and travel to his final destination, although neither he nor his reps have commented on the incident.
