Pete, it makes you wonder why they don't all use the same procedures / scanners. I went to Brussels last year and a colleague had a pouch full of screwdrivers / multitools in his hand luggage. He was stopped, quite rightly, but they still let him go back and check the stuff in for hold luggage. I went to Luxembourg post 9/11 and managed, accidentally (really) to get a BCB survival tool there and back in my mobile phone case even though it was x-rayed. In March I flew to Brussels and took my knife / scissors out of my Urban Kit but still went through with the foil wraped scalpel blade. How inconsistent is that!
