A clown was forced to strip to his underpants at Birmingham airport after a piece of metal on his costume policeman's uniform triggered the security alarm, the British press reported. Children's entertainer David Vaughan, 60, was on his way to perform for disadvantaged children on a charity one-hour entertainment flight over the Midlands region. But, despite his huge floppy shoes, policeman's helmet and face paint, "PC Konk" was stopped by security staff who did not see the funny side, confiscated his plastic handcuffs and ordered him to strip down to his shorts and T-shirt. Staff also demanded that he put his bubble mix liquid, to be used to blow bubbles from a plastic saxophone, into a clear sealed plastic bag. Vaughan, from Birmingham, said: "I'd made sure I'd bought plastic handcuffs and a plastic whistle, but I hadn't realised that the costume had a metal band - I thought it was plastic."
