Nailclippers.... am I right in thinking that the 9/11 terrorists used very small weapons (knives) to overcome the crew? And dont some nailclippers include a blade?
So to be safe, it's better to include a blanket ban, dont you think. Why in any case would aircrew need nailclippers available during a flight?
Please, the knife that you are provided with during the meal is both longer and sharper than your nail clipper blade. Have you ever been onboard an aircraft?
