You seem quite proud of the fact that you repeatedly, and illegally, smuggle a lethal weapon onto an aircraft.
Ouch, allow me to politely set the record straight.
  1. I am not 'proud' or anything else - it's just a fact. The first time it happened was by accident as I was with hand baggage only, the device was in my pocket and got placed into the tray. No comment came. The return journey meant, perforce, I had the same item with me, again no comment. This has happened on several other occasions when I have taken it with me. Sometimes I leave it in the car.
  2. I checked the regulations about blades and, insofar as I recall from less than a year ago, the limit was 5 cm and I carefully measured the device at it's maximum and found that it was not illegal.
  3. So, I am not proud, it is legal and I do not smuggle it as it goes in the x-ray tray. Lethal? As I point out, all I need is welcomed on board.
  4. Why do I post this? Just to show the absurdity of it all.
  5. Does that mean I think there should be no screening? No, of course not.
