A man carrying a pair of nunchakus in his handbag was forced to check in the traditional kungfu weapon before being allowed to board a flight from the Guangzhou Baiyun international airport in Guangdong's capital last week.

The man claimed he was a big fan of Taiwan pop star Jay Chou, and had bought the nunchakus to polish his kungfu skills like his idol.

According to civil aviation rules, nunchakus, knives and other weapons are not allowed on board an aircraft.
