Self-Defense Tip 38 Unbreakable® Umbrellas Go Everywhere

Unbreakable® Umbrella — personal protection weapon legal everywhere

During my recent trip to Poland, for the purpose of supervising a video recording, I took with me my Unbreakable® Umbrella (I always do). I flew to Warsaw through Amsterdam Schiphol airport and then back to the U.S.A. through Amsterdam. At the boarding gate in Amsterdam (after passing the security check), I noticed a poster listing objects you cannot take on the plane. In the point C of this list were named blunt instruments not allowed to pass the security check. As I stood there, I put my Unbreakable® Umbrella under my arm, took a notepad and wrote down those blunt instruments.

Here they are:

C) Blunt Instruments

Baseball and softball bats
Clubs or batons — rigid or flexible, e.g., billy clubs, black jacks, nightsticks and batons
Cricket bats
Golf clubs
Hockey sticks
Lacrosse sticks
Kayak and canoe paddles
Skateboards
Billiard, snooker, and pool cues
Fishing rods
Martial arts equipment, e.g., knuckle dusters, clubs, coshes, rice flails, num chucks (sic), kubatons (sic), kubosaunts (?).

No umbrellas though. Good.
