Mr Ruggitt
Let's try and make this as simple as possible. You go to work, I take it; perhaps at the same establishment for the past 5, 10 or 15 years? Today the Department for The Terminally Insane isuues a nationwide edict (and manages to coerce similar departments all over the world) that denies you the ability to bring a yoghurt to work as part of your packed lunch. Despite working at said establishment day in, day out for the past 5/10/15 years you and your yoghurt are deemed a security threat.
You have been nothing less than a law abiding citizen over that period, have perhaps given gallant service to the employer and held the highest of offices in that organisation...........and suddenly, you are deemed a security threat by a faceless, deskbound twerp at the DfTTI. You will probably feel peeved and disillusioned. You may even question why your yoghurt is considered such a threat to the security of the your fellow workers and, indeed, the state itself.
You know you are not a threat, your company knows you are not a threat; yet you are deemed as a threat in the confused and dillusional mind of the twerp at the DfTTI.
Quite a ridiculous and farcical situation isn't it; laughable, in fact. Yet that is the reality of so-called airport security for the tens of thousands of law abiding, security vetted workers at the world's airports.
