LHR Security

[PAXboy]

I quite often carry a short blade (4cm) through x-ray machines and, since it has never been questioned, I must presume that:

1. They do not see it
2. They see it and accurate calculate that it is less than the legal limit (it is)
3. The manufacture of the item disguises the blade.

I am not worried that others may carry small, but lethal, items through security for, as I have oft said, a 3Kg lap top and a (glass) litre bottle of spirits when broken, provide far superior weapons that the airline have encouraged me to bring my laptop and will then bring the glass bottle on board for me and serve to my seat.
