"attacked by 10 security workers at the airport!! note to self- dont travel with `bullet for peace` necklace in bag!! yikes!! "
"Haha (sic)," Kimberly wrote on her Twitter page.
The guards eventually let Kimberly go in time to make her flight back to the US. She has been away from her native country for three months while she lived in the UK during her stint as a judge on new reality show Got To Dance, and was thrilled to be home.
"on the ground in lala land!! safe and sound!! :D thanks to everyone that danced with me! (sic)," she wrote.
Kimberly is not the only celebrity fan of "bullets for peace" jewellery to have a run-in with airport security. Rapper Snoop Dogg was questioned at Beirut International Airport last October after guards spotted the fashionable bullet hanging around his neck."
Due to airport restrictions, please make sure to carry all Bullets4Peace pendant safely in checked baggage rather that carrying it on-board to avoid confiscation.
About Bullets 4 Peace:
Bullets4Peace a one-of-a-kind jewellery collection founded in 2009 by Rafi Anteby. Bullets are generally symbols of chaos and destruction, when a bullet is fired the tip flies towards the target and the casing falls to the ground. Manufacturers reload these casings with live ammunition. Bullets4Peace intercepts this vicious circle by transforming the bullet casings (taken from reload centres, streets and warzones) into unique and stylish fashion jewellery pendants insuring that these bullets will never find their way back to war zones, thus promoting harmony and peace.
