Willyleaks – New security concerns.
I dare say there are those who have, often with surprising results, danced the ancient dance of the 'flambéed rectum'. I found this delightful piece on 'another' aviation website, (thanks KM). I expect the chances of an inadvertent spontaneous combustion episode were as remote (S/F separator checked pre flight) as were the chances of actually setting the aircraft to fire; but still, it adds a possible new challenge to our erstwhile security systems. Imagine, not being relentlessly screened by Nitrates snifter, but by the more sinister Methane probe. Anymore than 200 cc's in board, and your grounded mate. Anyway, FWIW; it gave me a chuckle.
Flight Grounded.

On many an occassion, at regional ports in QLD, I have gone into the terminal to have my coffee, then just walked down to the airside gate, entered the code, gained access back onto the apron and walked back to my aircraft. All without the need to go through security (and yes it was operating).
Someone please tell me, what is the point of it then?

I would guess that you can do that because you are wearing an ASIC, have been provided with the code to the gate, and thus are "authorised" to be in the Security Restricted Area. If however, they are operating screening points to control access, and you are knowingly circumventing them, then I'd say you are committing an offence under Section 3 of the regs.

Something I found rather amusing.
The latest heinous terrorist threat is "NUTELLA"
A friend of mine had a jar of it confiscated recently
with lots of tut tutting and stern looks.
Now the question is this stuff still safe for my grandkids
to put on their toast? or is there a likelihood of them detonating
when they go outside to play?

I would have opened the jar and eaten the lot of it by the spoon full
in front of them ! That would have p'd them off.

That's too easy a question Thorny; Nutella is a known producer of high test Methane. The potential to use the gas, through a suitable delivery system as a weapon has been investigated by ASIO and determined to be a valid threat. Transport in the hold is acceptable, but not in the cabin. QED.

Good grief !!!! Kharon thanks for the warning, I'll keep the
Little beggars away from naked flames until nature takes its
Course. Now what about baked beans?? Hell we could end up with
Spontaneous combustion!!! Or an answer to future fuel shortages,
Not self loading cargo....self propelling cargo!!
