You couldn't make it up

Hoary old title but appropriate I think in the circumstances.

Letter to the editor from Tuesday's Telegraph

Sir.

As an aircraft captain I am also searched along with my crew prior to boarding out aircraft.

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 chefs knives removed from a passenger. They were given to me for safekeeping during the flight.

I stored them next to the flight deck crash axe.
