Further to my story about my briefcase being scanned, the funny
part was
that when "lunch" was served, we were given a metal knife and fork
set. Far
more usuable to do someone some injury then my little jewellers
screwdrivers!

I lost a good pair of embroidery scissors on one flight where I
carried a ten or twelve kilogram statue which could have been used
to bludgeon someone to death.
