The other morning, I went to the crew room (airside) with my flight case... passed through security without a problem. After the flight, I had to go back to the crew room to fax the voyage report to Ops. Wasn't allowed through with my flight case as it was too big. The next morning, into the crew room again, no problem with the flight case.
It's a bloody farce. I can not get my head around people who think my bag is too big or that my bottle of water is a bomb when they know I'm about to go and sit at the controls of an airliner. This world is full of numpties.
