Let me repeat again:
Why is it acceptable for Geneva Airport to offer Swiss Army knives for sale AFTER security to all an sundry, yet a VETTED Individual - namely ME - with a valid Pilot's licence, who is escorted to his aircraft and kept separate from any other passengers, is NOT allowed to take such an item with him?
It is ridiculous, plain and simple......
@grounded: I keep my knife in my pilot's bag and usually I would leave this bag in the plane when travelling; however I was advised by the refueller at Bratislava NOT to leave anything of value in the plane because parking on the apron wasn't considered a secure area!!!! I don't know how many of you have jumped through hoops due to a lost licence, but I decided to take the advice of the refueller and took all my belongings, including pilots bag with licence and logbooks (and Swiss Army Knife) with me.....
