I was asked by a nice plod type to put a doc box on the x ray machine - don't think he can have seen much but he seemed well pleased. On the same flight we had all our leathermans removed labelled and bagged because "someone" had, a few days before, started to dismantle albert whilst bored.
Recent trips to interesting areas have proved less bothersome with regard to removing lethal objects like nail clippers and in fact the movements staff were pleasant and kept us informed all the time. Could have been due to the presence on the flight of several scruffy chaps called Fred, Bert and Nosher who had boxes of stuff they wouldn't open.
Did once manage a mixed load of civgas, weapons and ammo (on the man) and white phos grenades. Does this count as a coup against all the members of the flying prevention branches?
