A friend flew to Jersey from a UK airport. For a variety of reasons he had a SKY digibox in his carry on luggage.
He told the security on dury he had it in his hand luggage and expected them to X-Ray and or examine it before letting him fly.
They did neither - the X-Ray was down (and had been for 4 days!) and the physical exam was on the lines of "Thats a SKY digibox, got one of those myself".
I am neither a pilot nor fly regularly but I was somewhat shocked by such poor security.
