China News Service, Nanning, January 8 (Pan Hongren) "In 2021, the Nanning Railway Public Security Department seized and confiscated 84 controlled knives and detained 84 people. Such cases account for the majority of those detained for bringing contraband and dangerous goods into the station. 46% of the cases are detained for carrying controlled knives. The Spring Festival is approaching, and the majority of passengers should pay special attention when traveling." Su Mengxiang, deputy leader of the Public Security Detachment of the Nanning Railway Public Security Department, said in an interview with reporters on the 7th.

　　Su Mengxiang said that in the process of law enforcement, the railway police found that many passengers did not know what controlled knives were.

On December 2, 2021, the security inspector of Nanning Railway Station in Guangxi found a knife in the handbag of passenger Chen Mou during the security inspection and immediately reported it to the police.

After inspection, the police found that the knife was a switch knife with a self-locking device and was a controlled knife.

Subsequently, the police took Chen back to the police station for processing.

According to Chen's account, this knife was bought to cut fruit. I didn't know it was a controlled knife, so I brought it into the station rashly.

In the end, the Nanning Railway Public Security Department gave Chen a penalty of five days of administrative detention.

When the passenger Huang was investigated and dealt with, he said that due to his carelessness, he did not carefully count the luggage before the trip. It was not until the security inspector opened the box and checked that he knew that there was a controlled knife hidden in his luggage.
