I'm sorry dude I tried to be reasonable and give the benefit of the doubt but having some professional standards is not ass kissing. Calm down.

The fact that a small nail file has to be "smuggled" on to a plane, but I can bring a metal pen or a screwdriver under 7in no issues is crazy. Both of those can cause more harm than a nail file. None of them are a threat, as you said it's been 25 years so clearly a screwdriver is safe. But God help if you have a nail file or a jar of peanut butter.

Streamline the rules to make some sense, and act like a professional. Literally every airport/country in Europe can manage this. Yet somehow it's just the craziest thing you've ever heard.

Also you keep saying 2 days but this post was posted 12hrs ago. I'm clearly not in the other thread you've been arguing in

I think they are perfectly professional enough. Its bad form to bitch about your fellow working citizens. Save your derision for their Directors.

I had the same argument on a different thread yesterday, with all the same lame arguments. I'm bored.
