Screeners with An ASIC
Have never noticed a screener with an ASIC.Must check next time time.
What is also at issue here is the screeners make up what is allowed on an aircraft and what is not.
There should be a list of goods that are considered dangerous and therefore for aircraft carriage.What I am suggesting is transparency where we are all on the same page regarding aircraft security
The dangerous goods list issued to aircaft employees does not include tuna.
Just for the record I have been taking tuna(with brine) onboard for over two years.
Therein lies another problem ....inconsistency.
Can anyone produce a definitive list of prohibited items that includes tuna?
The closest I can find is this:
Common liquids, aerosols and gels carried by passengers include drinks, creams, perfumes, toothpaste, lipstick, lip balm, deodorants, honey and other similar substances.
Other items include sauces, stews, jams, pastes, and canned food items with a high liquid content (e.g. abalone, mushrooms etc.).
Note that this indicates food item with "High" liquid content.
The tuna I take is a 250grm can and definitely cannot be classified as high liquid content(1.58% liquid)
The reason I take tuna onboard?
I dont take a hold stowed suitcase to work.Havent done for ten years
