Ax "Murderer"

Roughly two years ago the EU introduced new rules for your handluggage when you wanted to fly. You were only allowed to bring a limited amount of liquids on board. After 9/11 flying was difficult anyway but what I read today made the hubby and me laugh out loud.

An airline pilot who was forced to leave his pocket knife behind at security was so upset, he marched angrily to his plane to retrieve the emergency ax from the cockpit, marched right back and banged it on the security's table. That just cracked me up.

It is not the first time I am whining about airport's security measures and I do understand that some of it is necessary, most of it however wouldn't prevent an attack if it was hitting them in the face...
