Aha! Something we can agree on! I've lost several 1-1/2" Swiss Army
Knives at "Security". Took me nearly two hours on October 6 to get to
Metal rulers and pens go through. They don't check to see if your shoe
laces are Kevlar strings. None of it make s sense.
I won't elaborate on how dangerous "ordinary" items can be. If I
posted what you could do, I'd probably be arrested. For instance,
just imagine the end of a Pentel 0.5 pencil right into the eye ;-)
The other annoyance is unpacking the laptop every time... for what...
the dummy picks it up and looks at it for maybe one second then puts
it back on the belt. (In Frankfurt, Germany, I have to boot it up and
prove that it works as a PC... wonder what they do with a cell phone?)
And my suspenders set off the metal detector every time, as well as my
Ecco shoes... so here I am shoe-less, with my pants about to fall off,
when I go thru the detector ;-)
Ah, the things we do for love.....
