For anyone that considers air travel restrictions on baggage are excessive

Just watch this short film about one of the things available to those that want to cause terror etc..

Remember this ladies when they say no eye liner, remember this gents when they take your pen off you.

I recently talked to a number of airline hostess' and they have been taking some serious flak, so on your next flight try thanking one or two of them and the security people for keeping you safe, remember if they ever got to the point of apathy about their job one of these devices could get onto a plane.

Scary stuff sprout!

But putting a bit of make-up etc in a sealed plastic bag for check-in isn't much trouble, especially if it helps avoid this kind of 007 stuff........I don't know why people get so annoyed about giving up their water bottle at check in.
There were some right moaners at security check-in when I went to UK recently, people should be grateful that anyone cares enough to try and protect them.

The video asks if we should be afraid? What do you think?
Afraid -no; extra vigilant? Yes

Puts a perspective on the "harsh" baggage rules.

One of the reasons I quit the UK was this kind of 'live in fear, but your government will protect you' rubbish.

Sorry in advance if I offend anyone, but I feel strongly about this 'war on terror' nonsense.
