The ax in the subway raised no questions.
A woman in St. Petersburg noticed an elderly man with an ax in his bag and asked metro workers if they were allowed to ride with him. According to her, she was told: a garden ax in a bag is not considered a bladed weapon. When asked how it was determined, the girl heard: "by eye".
At the same time, she herself, as she said, is constantly asked to put the dog weighing two kilos in a carrier. This difference in requirements infuriated the passenger.
