Just checking out airline security rules for my flight tomorrow and was wondering...
How come I'm not allowed to take a nail-file in my hand luggage but you can take knitting needles into the cabin?  |

It's mental isn't it? It never fails to both amuse and infuriate me.
If I want to inflict harm on anyone I could easily do as much damage with a teaspoon as a nail file. |

"If you can hijack a plane with a nail file then I say you deserve the plane!"
It always amazes me in security the bins they have on display of things people have tried to take through. I mean really!! 8" fuck of blade tucked down your pants wasn't gonna go unnoticed |

"I got stopped at gatwick when I put my 7 year olds back pack through. She had plastic scissors in there. I was so embarrassed.  "
They were being mean then because Heathrow says as long as the blades aren't longer than 6cms. Again though, I could do some serious damage with nail scissors given enough provocation. |

You can distract the stewards by giving them a bad manicure? |

"Eye brow tweasers and a 32 g jar of strawberry jam confiscated at Bristol airport ...the mind boggles !!"
Not confiscated, you 'voluntarily abandoned' them 
And I'm a bit puzzled over the jam. Unless it wouldn't fit in your liquids bag. |

Under your seat ...3 wires. A red, a blue and a yellow. One opens your airbag, one opens your parachute and the other opens the sunroof.....your choice. This post will self destruct in 30 seconds  |

The jar of jam comes under the liquid rules, so it would get taken off You.
I heard a story about a pilot argueing with airport security, he was taking water through security. The theme of the arguement was the pilot might use it to take over the plane!!!!! |

On way to Australia once, was stopped in transit while boarding the plane at Singapore and a pair of blunt nail scissors was found (Manchester didn't even pick it up!). Another time on a domestic from Melbourne, one of those battery operated tweezers was picked up, but the 'tweezer' part was only half an inch long, so they let me carry it on.
As far as I know, knitting needles aren't allowed, unless they've changed their policy since I've flown? |

I had a bag of sausages checked when visiting a friend in Spain.
Tgey let it through but asked me to put through separately next time as they showed up the same colour as explosives when scanned.
Pointed out they would be out of date before I came back...which the guy didn't 'get'. |

Aircrew always argue. Mind you, some of the general public are as bad "That's not a liquid, that's water" is heard quite often.
And yes jam comes under the liquids rule, so under 100ml placed in your 1 ltr liquids bag is ok. |

At the end of the day, if you refuse to give up whatever they take exception to, they will simply refuse to let you fly and in the no-fly list you go.
Complain as much as you want, they are in control. TSA wins, every time. |

We we're flying to New York and my son was studying for his A levels. He got out his revision to do on the flight and he had scissors and a compass. The security must have dosed off when his bag went through. |

On a flight in Malaysia years ago they confiscated a travel knife my friend was carrying. (We were travelling and had all kind of outdoor survival equipment).
Before landing they called on the audio system " Will the gentleman please come to the cabin staff area to collect his flick knife"
Seems crazy to return in in the air and caused a stir among other flyers. |
