For those passengers who have had the embarrassing experience of having to surrender a pair or scissors or lighter, forgotten in a coat pocket, you'll be able to take comfort from this festive sight:
An airport in Lithuania has built a Christmas tree entirely form confiscated items.
Built using items confiscated by airport security, it's easy to see that you're not the only person who packed in a hurry.

Vilnius Airport assembled the Tannenbaum from scissors, lighters, spent cartridges - taken from passengers and repurposed into the decoration.
