Underground Overground

Planning a conference trip to Paris, T is suddenly gripped
by a fear of being strip-searched on the Eurostar.
Will they take my knitting needles off me?
The polished brass website allays her trembling:
For packing into a metal tube squirting under the sea,
one should not bring unlicensed firearms, gasoline,
alcohol of more than 5 units, ammunition or CS gas,
knives over 3 inches long. Registered firearms,
crossbows, spearguns, sporting equipment
and swords are fine, but please leave them in the hold.
