Greetings Mike,
We actually know each other, an acquaintance that terminated on Friday the 13th September 2002
Having worked in aviation for 30+ years I fully respect aviation security but this really is bordering on the ridiculous, we can check-in with our hand baggage as normal but we need to arrive with a 'doggy bag' of deodorant & toothpaste.
I'm actually laughing at such a scenario of the baggage handlers taking out 150 ish doggy bags, no suitcases, to the aircraft, each and every one of which could contain an explosive device, that's the doggy bags, not the handlers
