Why is it that UK airports will not allow you to carry on a corkcrew or a pair of nail clippers, whil the TSA, doing security for the country that actually got hit on 9/11, will allow them?

Think of some of the gun-loving posters on here. Would you like them sat behind you armed with a corkscrew?Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View Post -
You can carry nail clippers if it the type with square ends but not the pointed ones.Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View Post"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

WTF are you going to need a corkscrew for on a plane?
There are flight attendants to do all that for you..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

It's security theatre. They make you feel "safer" by having to jump through a few hoops before boarding. Nothing to do with any real threat.Comment

What I find bloody odd is that while you cannot take anything of use with you on a plane, ie razor deo etc, if you fly business with most carriers they serve you with nice metal cutlery and give you a wet bag with a razor and a can of deo!"Wait, I still function!"Comment

I can't remember ever getting a razor in a care package. Toothbrush, and paste and assorted creams yes, but no razor.Originally posted by Swiss Tony View Post
Never had a can of deo either, but I'm pretty sure you can take your own little ones if you want."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I remember reading an interesting comment by a US senator or some such silly old roman rank saying that if we gave you the option of having 2 planes. One with no security and you could go straight on, the other with 4 hours of security screening, which you send your family on?
Kind of made everything else irrelevant I thought. Still wish they would be sensible about it, having no razors or deo, I mean am I the only one who has thought that I could easily tape a blade into the inside of my laptop and it would still work? If your desperate enough you will find a way.
I've had a razor from Singapore Airlines, Quantas and Emirates."Wait, I still function!"Comment
