1. What's the law/regulations regarding bringing full-size kirpans from India to the UK (England) in checked luggage?
2. I know that most people think that checked luggage is fine for big kirpans, but don't some countries or airlines have regulations about "swords" and "weapons" in luggage these days? If there are such regs, are they usually ignored?
3. Secondly, in the UK, is there any problem with wearing/taking along the big kirpan? Specifically, throwing it into your car and taking it to the Gurdwara?
4. What if you have to travel by bus/train to a keertan program in another city?
5. Finally, what about the reverse? Taking your fullsize kirpan to India? Any grief from Delhi vs. Amritsar airports?
