Don't take your jacket to the washroom!

One more thing -- as long as we are speaking about fitting profiles.

I also fit the profile of a cruise ship passenger who is planning on committing suicide. Their radar picks up a target when the steward makes a "no luggage" report after I board. Jumpers usually only bring a carry-on and it happens more often than you might think. Jumper Night is the last night before docking. As I am in the public eye the rest of the year, and travel alone, I prefer to be quiet on the cruises; it's great being unknown. So, generally, I have one or two crew members who are reasonably chatty with me the first few days until they get to know me! I think it's funny, but I don't let on.

BA, LH and AF eat them all for breakfast IMHO, as do CSA in the minor league.

.....Why, thank you Final 3 Greens!!! It's nice to know that, despite all our faults, the major European players are still appreciated, and I'm sure CSA would value your comments too! (Ever thought about dropping 'em a line to let them know? - it might help their staff morale, just as our morale is helped by comments such as yours!)

Richard Reid (aka the 'Shoe Bomber') was
also searched/screened prior to boarding
but there was still a big problem. - He had twice the explosives located on his person than were on PA 103. I'd wager the pax on that AA flight were glad the crew stopped him before he detonated his device. I believe he was stopped in his seat. The bad guys know there is increased vigilance so keeping a good eye on what's being brought into the loo is a good thing.

"What on earth does it have to do with the crew on the A/C what clothing passengers take in to the toilet??
I take it the aircraft was in flight,and the pax had been searched prior to boarding, so whats the problem??"
