Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't an L-1011 blown in half at (I think) Colombo by a guy dressed in the uniform of a Captain? (Admittedly some years ago, at a time when a pilot, to prove a point, got away for over a year with a picture of a lowland gorilla on his ID)
After the events of last year it is inevitable that Western Democracies will react with what they're best at - nitpicking bureaucracy. But as for the Security person, well there ain't no point in shooting the messenger - he/she can do no more to change things than we can. And I can't quite remember the last time I had time for a manicure on a short haul European sector, so my nail clippers get used at home.
