I resent having to take my shoes off too for the record and traipse on a dirty unhygenic carpet.
And yes removing a bottle of ribena from a tanker driver is ridiculous also. I'd be more worried about the contents of his tanker wouldn't you ?
The point is the pilots are perfectly capable of bringing down an aeroplane without having to take a device on board.
Fine, screen our flight case and put us through a metal detector but the rest is nonsense. There is even an axe on the flight deck which the pilots have access to.
Puts it all in perspective doesn't it ?
