Massey AvMan,
I should have known that you would focus on the petty details of my post and avoid answering my main message.
I think you got my point but I will answer anyway.
Personally, Iīm not away from home more than 6 days at a time for work but I have friends who are away more than 2 weeks, so a nailclipper can come in handy also for pilots even though they donīt use it while flying. Besides, itīs a normal component of your toiletries.
So you mean that a caterer doesnīt have to smuggle the poison through security?
How can a cleaner bring down an airliner without smugling anything through security?
Do you still have a problem with where to draw the line?
What do you think of the sensible approach of screening pilots for real threats only, like bombs and guns?
