Aftenposten reports that in September of last year, three Egyptians were apprehended by Czech authorities after they attempted to gain access to the flight deck on a plane bound from Oslo to Prague.
The attempt was foiled by flight attendants, and the three men claimed "they were looking for a staff member because they wanted to buy chewing gum". Czech authorities believe this wasn't an actual hijacking attempt, but more a "rehearsal" for gaining access to the flight deck, presumably for some future flight.
Czech authorities escorted the gum-seekers back to Egypt.
