I made a deal with the young security screener who confiscated my 130 ml bottle of after shave (with about 30 mls left in it), from my shaving kit.
(130 ml bottles don't travel)
I told him he gets to take my bottle of after shave but he had to listen to my rant in exchange, without arresting me. (you have the option of leaving security screening to put it in your checked baggage) I explained that I needed to lower my stress level before boarding my flight because this total lack of common sense, 'discretion', or use of 'prudence' in the application of security screening regs was starting to wear thin these 7 years later.
If I had to sit on the same aeroplane with "x" number of pax and their 1 liter bottles of duty free booze then something didn't add up.
"...excuse me, Sir, the wine is in a sealed bottle!!!"
Silly me, what was I thinking?
