I have no objection to being searched and going through the same system as the passengers. However, sometimes the lack of common sense can be amusing.
This morning I departed from Frankfurt and had a small (10mm) ring spanner that I had used to fix my roof rack and had forgotten that it was in my briefcase. After an admonishment by a police officer, the spanner was confiscated. However, the gift shop, which is after the security post sells vanity sets containing scissors of about the same size as my spanner.

P.S. Does anyone have a spare 10mm ring spanner?
