The security check at the London Eye discovered that one of the members of our group carried a pocketknife.  The pocketknife was the safety type, where the blade locks to prevent self-injury.

Turns out that locking blade pocketknives are illegal in Britain.  The knife was confiscated and a form had to be filled out with name, address, age and place of birth (one presumes to identify a passport number).  The form will be turned over to the police.

Did this info get mentioned on the attendee list?  I do not recall seeing it, but I might not have paid attention.  And I'm apologize if this is common knowledge that no one would have thought worth mentioning.

If anyone is left in town and brought a pocketknife along, best to leave it in your suitcase.
