Really trivial question about hand luggage on a plane
Discussion
This is a really weak post topic but I have nobody else to ask!
I'm taking an internal flight this evening and have reason to take a couple of tennis rackets with me. Trouble is, my hand luggage bag is full and I'm not checkin anythig in.
Do you reckon I'll get em on the plane if I just tape em to my bag or something, or am I going to be accused of tennis based terrorism and chuck of the flight?

European Union
Since 6. November 2006 there is a common regulation for cabin baggage restrictions in extended European Union (including Switzerland, Norway and Iceland).
* Restrictions on liquids:

o all pieces assembled in a single zippable plastic bag of max 1000ml (1 liter)
o liquids include gels and lotions (shampoo, tooth paste), lip sticks, moist paper tissue
o Exceptions:
+ prescribed medicin of any size (non-prescribed medicine-only items allowed well)
+ baby milk and other items for infants
+ nutrition for diabetes diet
* Restrictions on abusable objects:
o weaponry, including imitations and sports utilities (e.g. archery)
o sharp objects, even small ones, including dart arrows and razor blades.
+ The recommendation allows for light knifes and scissors with blades up to 6 cm but some countries do not accept these either (e.g. nail care items).
o blunt objects, clubs and all larger sticks, including sports utilities (e.g. skateboard)
o inflammable objects, including ethanol, alcoholic beverage above 70%, some match sticks
o toxic chemicals, including pepper spray, liquid batteries, blood samples

Just go for it.
If they say no, my advice would be to cause a racquet and keep going until you get someone else to serve you. Once the ball is back in your court, don't back down and keep returning their attempts to get you out until you finally convince them. Once they aggree, game, set and match!
