Good Point.
I don't want to talk about loopholes in airport security in the interest's of safety but I came through La Guardia airport yesterday morning in uniform with all the apropriate security badges visible and had my bag searched. Which of course they should. They opened my toilet bag and confiscated my razorblades from my Gillete mach 2 razor and a pair of tweezers. But they didn't even look in my friends toilet bag who had a pair of scissors and a razor and other stuff. Inconsistant? I'd say so. Will overnighting flight crews now have to buy razors in every destination outstation from now on? Or perhaps allowed to grow beards?
My question is.....How is confiscating Grandma's toe-nail clippers going to help crack down on hijacking?
Typical kneejerk reaction. They are closing the door after the horses have bolted.
