Since everything that goes into the airside airport shops is obviously rigourously screened, no risk of our suicidal SLF or flight crew picking up something dodgy there!
It is not the mindless stupidity of the 'rules' that really gets me: the utter stupidity of so many facets of life in modern Britain makes it unlikely that something as petty as stopping people taking lipstick on aeroplanes will lower my opinion of our institutions still further. The bit that really grates is having no choice but to suffer the inept performance of BAA on a regular basis, and having no choice in the matter. The security screening debacle is nothing more than you would expect from an organisation that is completely dysfunctional.
