awlwren: libertarirynn: theindependentconservative: invaderxan: Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana. Reblog to save a life? Reblog to save a life. Sharing because it’s actually a verified and sourced thing and not one of those dumbass fake tip posts. [id: a Twitter thread by PC David Wise (@CopThatCooks) from April 27 2018: First, a picture of a woman being scanned by airport security, her passport held above her head as she looks at the picture illustrating the pose she should take. Under the picture is the text: “If you’re being taken abroad against your will for;- Forced marriage- Sexploitation- FGM- Child Abuse- Abduction- Honor Based Violence- Human Trafficing HIDE A METAL SPOON IN YOUR UNDERWEARMetal detector will alert airport security who will secure your safety!“A little more to add that didn’t make it into the original tweet:This could be someones only chance to discreetly alert authorities and speak to someone away from their abuser or controlling family.Any metal object would do but ‘the spoon trick’ is something security are alert to.“The ideas is from Karma Nirvana @KNFMHBV, an award winning charity supporting victims of honor based violence and forced marriage.I’ve referred a number of ‘at risk’ young women in the past and they have received great support.Their UK Helpline is 0800 5999 247.#StaySafe”Frontline Grunt (@frontlinegrunt) replied: “The way it works is the spoon sets off the metal detector and as it is hidden in their underwear the person is taken somewhere private to be searched. As in without the person forcing them to go. This gives them the opportunity to speak to security/police alone.”jamie shirlaw (@jamie_shirlaw) replied: “I work in an airport (not security) and was unaware of this. Until I tried to go back through security after my lunch break forgetting I had a metal spoon in my pocket. Got discreetly pulled aside and asked if I was OK ”Himmmm (@TheHimmmm) replied: “That’s no joke or wive’s tale/urban myth. In the US the TSA screeners are taught things like that (and others like shoes and private parts) may be silent HELP signals. They will sequester females privately to ask if ok.”The final image shows a clothesline with two pairs of underwear, two spoons, and a poster clipped on the line. The poster is pink with black text, with a simple silhouette of a spoon and the words: “When is a spoon not just a spoon? When it saves a life #EndForcedMarriage”.]/end id. -- source link
