The BAA, scissors and nail clippers

Heard on the BBC news tonight (although as yet no mention on the website) that the BAA are recommending a relaxation of the rules which require their security staff to remove personal grooming items from passengers. Apparently they have a haul of over 6 million such items now.

They reason that any hi-jacker would face stiff opposition from other passengers and that the confiscation of these items makes no great difference to security.

Personally, I am inclined to agree with them.
