Government would have us believe they have "relaxed" the Regs covering some items. In actual fact they have only responded to a re-evaluation/risk assesment of a number of common items. They couldn't justify keeping those items 'banned' at any rate.
Now all they have to do is to get the rent a thugs at the airports to understand that the pin on the clasp of my medals (that the Government gave me) is also not a banned item. Going to a mates funeral is not made anymore easy by some twit trying to confiscate my service medals because he said the pin was 2mm to long.
For part of my work I have a copy of the TSAct on my computer and nobody could show me where it said I could not carry them. Confused all of them no end.
