Should have grabbed the shock back and pushed and pulled to demonstrate
damping action, I am not sure if everybody would have taken cover, but you
probably would have ended up in handcuffs, at least for a bit.
Similar story, friend was bringing back a turbocharger for a BMC A series.
There was a lot of hemming and hawing about whether it should be allowed on
the plane. Ultimately the airport guys asked if the part was ever exposed
to petrol. My friend decided the pragmatic answer would be "no", and they
let him and the parts through.
