"I wonder if anyone has heard of that wonder devise called a telescopic mirror should allow the pilot to just crouch a little without getting his knees wet".
Assuming Transec or DaFT can be persuaded we won't use the stick to beat the flight crew during hijack attempt or break the glass of the mirror and cut our own throats with the shards.
Ah I forgot, we're driving the plane but can't take nose-hair tweezers longer than 2" airside, in case.........?!
Interesting to see if the average UK or O'seas airport Stasi would permit a PILOT to take such an item through the obstacle course, without causing delay, leading to rushed external checks..............
