Walking stick being confisticated as a hand luggag...

Walking stick being confisticated as a hand luggage since it could function as a trekking stick, and the reason given was that the ending tip of the stick which is rather sharp for better performace on rocks can function as a weapon.

I am travelling with an elderly and no exception was given despite potential walking issues. In addition, I have travelled in various developed countries which the walking stick is never a problem on the hand carry luggage. Lastly, the creativity of the stick being a weapon is beyond my imagination. Will the elderly be able to stab the walking stick to someone else? Ridiculous!

Avoid!
