The Aldi "Dremel" type tool and glue gun have both been taken by airport security because they felt I could brandish the glue gun like a weapon.

Next time I'll stick them in hold luggage and just lie when they ask if there are any lithium batteries in it.  (The batteries are built into the tools).

I may be able to get them returned to me with a third party postal service with "charges".

You must have looked a bit of a terrorist.. lol. Edinburgh, perhaps they heard your Glaswegian accent and decided to take the piss.

Had a small screwdriver 90 degree ratchet set confiscated at Heathrow flying to Dublin last year, totally missed the 12" rubber handled cosh/screwdriver in my bag. Decided not to take the postage charges to return item as it all came to £45 with service charge, courier charge and airport handling charge. All for a £10 screwdriver ratchet set :-(

I had a bag of hairpins confiscated. They missed a FREAKING KNIFE I forgot to pull out of the bag.
