Answer

Why do travelers keep bringing banned items onto Mallorca flights?

It often comes down to carelessness, unclear information, or passengers not realizing that an everyday object is restricted. Older travelers or people who do not fly often may miss the rules in airline emails or airport signs. Language barriers and small symbols on notices can also make the rules harder to understand.
