Bishop,
Good point.
I also like the crash-axe idea.
I, myself, conducted a little experiment (not that I changed my behaviour in any way) when the new "anti-liquids" rule came in.
I always take a Redbull or two with me to work (I wonder why?) stashed in my flight bag.
Guess how long it was
after the new rule came in before I first got stopped and asked what was in the can?
About two months.
I still take a Redbull or two with me to work as I always have done.
Every now and again I get stopped and have to drink it there and then whilst quipping,
"You know taking this off me is endangering my passengers safety because I'm often so tired at the end of a duty this is the only thing keeping me up!"
Mostly I slip through unchallenged with my dangerous liquid.
It does bring a wry smile to my face every time it happens as it does call into question the competence of those who often take a perverse sense of pleasure in contesting
my professional credentials day in day out.
