A colleague in full flight crew uniform presented himself for security inspection at the crew lane in Heathrow. The security person demanded to view his ID, which was promptly retrieved from the jacket pocket and made available. “IDs must be displayed by crew on their outermost garment” announced the security person. Our Captain mentioned the many passengers in the nearby lanes without IDs on their outermost garment. “They all have boarding cards!” loudly announced the security person.
“Why aren’t they wearing their boarding cards on their outermost garments?” inquired our obliging and curious Captain.

Subsequent flight delay put down to Airport Security!
