What is going on?
« on: 17 February 2009, 16:33:31 »

Looks like

1) Photography is under threat - new laws means that photoing a Policeman can get you done on terror charges

2) Pilots are going on strike as they do not want ID cards, who actually does?

Taken from a letter from a pilot in today's Telegraph:

On one occasion, on an international flight, my nail clippers were confiscated – I assume security considered I might hijack myself with them. Prior to departure, the handling agent presented our pre-flight paperwork, together with a set of chef’s knives removed from a passenger. They were given to me for safe- keeping during the flight.

I stowed them next to the flight-deck crash axe.

 :o ;D :D

so.. why, exactly, would a pilot need nail clippers to hijack his own aircraft?

.. and why couldn't he do it with an axe instead?

Oh, sorry, Nanny. I was using common sense for a while then. I promise not to do it again and go back to being a nice barcode for you to count. Wibble...

Of all people to carry ID cards I think pilots should.  and all trades carrying paying customers., but these of course could/should be issued by the company they work for.

National ID cards to be visible I dont agree with as they are easyly nicked.

Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't pilots had identity cards for years?
When I was delivering to the aviation industry years ago, everyone who went airside had to be wearing their airside permit.
