Some good points here, tis the same for the military as well. Mind you when I walk through security to the jet as a solo pilot (on the odd occasion we are at a civvy field) dressed in smelly green zoom bag. I still get the full monti from security, now you can't shoot the messenger for doing their job, but you gotta wonder about the who is making the rules. Now I don't have a lot of room for toothpaste but need my mobile as there are woman out there that need calling you know, o and the ops room maybe. Tis a tricky one really but we gotta trust some (well vetted) people as some stage or else these scroats have won, what next sky marshals in the cockpit?
