I recently had the pleasure of watching stupidity at it's finest in EGLL. Going through VIP screening, in uniform with my bags, enroute to a GLEX parked on the ramp. I was told that my baby Swiss Army knife was to be taken off the aircraft key chain and placed in my checked baggage...hmm let's see, where exactly can this bag be placed so no one can get at it??? When I politely told the security 'person' that this is a business jet without a lower cargo hold, he and she started getting a bit defensive. I decided to place my 'weapon' in my bag and get on with it.. .Do these people really understand anything?. .I'm sure glad I didn't have a mad moment at FL450 and try to hijack myself, what a dilema that would have been - where to go??????
Latte time, no foam please
