Going Downhill

Flying regulalry, I am getting mighty peed off at the ludicrous delays caused by so called enhanced security.

By way of example:

1) At lhr, small sizzors get by if they are not sharp, needles from sowing kits allowed as is the razor in my wash kit. Also, apparently I am only allowed to take matches on baord if they are in my pocket and not in my brief case ??

2) On board there are glasses, amazingly sharp plastic knifes, bottles, hot water from the galley etc etc

3) Lufthansa have now put back metal knifes and forks. They are much less deadly that the plastic type (except if you throw them I suppose)

4) In Rome, after flight from Cairo, you get your bags X-rayed again coming off the plane ???? Another stupid queue manned by 5 security staff.

The whole thing is a farce and its about time someone did something or people like me will find other ways of doing business.

I want flying to be safe but its no good pretending, either do it properly or not at all
