Things we shouldn't carry
It is all too easy to have the wrong thing about you when you go through Airport Security. A friend of mine lost a pair of expensive hair dressing scissors at Tenerife because although she had remembered to secure them in her hold luggage on the outbound, she had kept them in her handbag for 2 weeks and plain forgot in the scramble going home. There was nothing she could do and was WILD.
I have a swiss army knife and set of nail clippers in my pocket on a permanent basis in the UK and always have to remember to take them out before commercial flight ... and often it's a last minute .. oh sh1t type of suddenly remembered .... I've had them a long time and wouldn't wanna lose 'em. Same with an inscribed leatherman I keep in a Transair shoulder bag that I use for logbook, license, GPS, ICOM spare batteries and checklists. I will lose it one of these days with keep moving it from place to place.
If you see me on the news someday .... honest Guv I didn't mean it ....
