Whatever is written on this thread I ask that we are responsible enough not to mention personal experiences of which airports let what items through. If I was a potential terrorist looking for airports with cracks in security, this would be a perfect place to do it.
Security are required to remove any item considered to be a 'potential weapon'.
PaperTiger: Bealines advice and comments are always far more helpful than your sarcastic remarks. I am lead to beleive the unfortunate 9/11 passengers were told to use their mobiles before impact, and this is how the initial murders were reported to loved ones and police who were contacted.
