 And the reason, there was shower gel in a 250ml bottle but less than quarter full! 

  It only tells you a million times and plasters posters up absolutely everywhere over the airport.  The security people only ask you a couple of times before your bag goes through.   Totally the airport security's fault.  

While I agree I was total tool, I think they are jobs worth, while they are tossing about with things like this a genuine issue is happening elsewhere? But from my point of view never take any liquid, no matter how little but take as much wire & conductive product as you can get away within your weight limit. And if I'd paid for a bag in the hold, no issue?

Its because people were making liquid explosive bombs out of the contents in the toilets once they were through security. Can't do anything with liquids once they are in the hold.

Nope, I work for a brewery.  

 

I just get pissed off and waiting for ages at security because someone can't read eleventy-billion signs.

Probably fact, but once past security you can then re purchase the same stuff in duty free, food outlets, so I think it's a mockery of the whole thing!

One would imagine that the stuff on the airside is scanned etc prior to entry.

 

The signs and literature etc all say that the CONTAINTER must be 100ml or less, you cant take a 1L bottle with only 100ml in the bottom as thats not following the rules

 

I only got tugged once when I was effectively commuting to Italy, where I had 3 large stainless steel based electonics devices in my bag and they wanted to check it all... Thankfully the person checking was a petrolhead and saw the Pagani Logos all over it and talked about the cars rather than carrying on the search

 

Sunday will be fun with the Mrs and Littleun going through there... Wont be as fast or slick at stipping before being felt up.

Been on dozens of flights, but really dropped the ball when I was flying out last time. In the queue, I laugh and joke about how that when I take me belt off my jeans are only a wrong move away from falling off. Gets a tray, places wallet in tray. *Beep beep beep* Immediately call myself a fanny as I realised I had my Phone, Mp3 player, keys, chewing gum, coins and passport in my pockets, as well as leaving my belt on!! Total brainfart moment.

It's not water and suncream that they are worried about.   It's people with explosive things in other containers trying to pass them off as innocent items.

The stupid fcuking between programme BBC World Cup trailers with the Subbuteo characters. Annoying in the extreme and make me yearn for the end of the World Cup before it's even started.

Have a word with your local fire station. We have recently had a visit and they provided foc some that you press to mute and they stay muted for 15-20mins

[mbes2]

Blah blah blah

[siztenboots]

these ones came from the fire station , well actually no, they were faulty and keep beeping / chirping all night, so we phoned the company that made them and they sent out a new batch.

Kidde branded? WGOYT: Weather. Do we skip back early from Cornwall tomorrow and risk a days sunshine, but miss the torrential rain for Sat. Or head back Saturday only to find that the forecast was wrong and I miss the chance to cut the lawn

[siztenboots]

[Mangham54]

Hmmm. I had been tempted by a goat a while back.
