RE: [CON] GZG East Coast Convention

Reminds me of a local personality who popped over to New Zealand for
convention quite a few years back.  
In answer to the usual question "anything to declare", the answer was
"guns,
knives & armor".  They thought he was joking; until the full scale
replica
of an Aliens Sentry Gun went through the x-ray machine!
A 30 minute photo shoot then ensued with the gun set up pointing at the
walk-through metal detector (rather disconcerting for any passengers who
knew what it was!)
