A couple of my climbing mates got 'questioned' and had some climbing gear confiscated because the airline in question thought they might try to hijack the plane with the stuff they had clipped onto their rucksacks.
Not exactly on topic but it's just interesting what airports define as threatening.

I saw a plastic spork in the Stansted 'dangerous items' bin. Breathed easier that flight, I tell you.
Despite that, er, there was a restaurant in the departures lounge with cutlery.

Back home, the buses went up in flashes,
the Irish tomb was drenched in blood.
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels.
My señorita’s rose was nipped in the bud.

The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound

I take it you missed the story about the guy who had his Medal of Honor taken away?
I mean, if you can't trust somebody who's recieved the highest decoration that can be given to a member of the US military, who can you trust?

The nutjobs in the White-house, apparently.

A few years back, a guy I know was flying business class. They served the meal with plastic knives and metal, long-tonged forks. He showed one to a stewardess and mentioned how he could do a heck of a lot more damage to someone's throat using the fork than a knife. The stewardess didn't really have anything to say. :nervous:

Do not underestimate the power of the plastic knife (or the spork). This was demonstrated years ago by my mate in high school going "These things are useless, you couldn't cut anything with them." He proceeded to demonstrate his point by running the plastic knife across his hand. Three seconds later he was spraying blood all over his dinner. :nervous:

Yep, some of them are very sharp indeed - unlike your friend...

And he wasn't hauled off the plane after it had been diverted to the nearest airfield? What a shocking lack of judgement from all the security services involved! :rolleyes:
