Granted guys, but I bet he didn't slit his throat with a pair of Nail Clippers!

No-one believes security is not a serious business, but there are DEFINATELY a bunch of power-crazy "security" officials (the ones that last week they were working for B&Q) out there at the moment with no sense of importance at all.

Yesterday was classic; while going to great lengths to take a pair of sissors from a Canin Crew's personal first aid kit, NONE of the crew's ID were checked nor was the crew bus even looked at. This is LUDICROUS and DANGEROUS.

The REAL danger here is that all this petty squabling over bomb jokes and nail scissors lures people into a FALSE sense of improved security when really key issues - vehicle checks, proper ID checks etc - are being overlooked.

This does not apply ALL the time - mostly ID's etc are checked - but surely the KEY measures like these have first to be achieved 100% of the time before we worry about plastic cutlery and nail scissors??
