i know it's security... but why the nail cutter?

strange how airport security works these days.



"Sir, you can't bring your swiss card along. you'll have to check it in or we'll have to confiscate it."


"ok."


"and your shampoo too.... it's classified as chemicals, see."


"Grrr.... ok."


"and your nail cutter too."


"what?"


"that's right, sir. your nail cutter."


"but why?"


"coz of security. it's in the list, sir."


"list of items that classified as dangerous?"


"yes sir."


"you're telling me that my nail cutter is now a weapon of mass destruction?"


"no sir, just a precaution."


"precaution of what? that i might kill the pilot by cutting his toe nails too deep and let him bleed to death?"


this is not a matter of temporary-inconvenience thing. it's a this-is-getting-out-of-hand thing.


what am i suppose to bring if i am to travel for more than 2 weeks? sand paper?



i know i can bring the nail cutter along if i am to check it in, but that's not the point.


point is, that it doesn't have to go to this extreme.






this is not just nuisance. . .


this is freaking ridiculous!
