Thread Name: Fear Fiddlers Flying-Jobsworth(Helpful Suggestion)
Subject: RE: Fear Fiddlers Flying-Jobsworth(Helpful Suggestion)
A woman I know who flies frequently was told at one airport that she couldn't take her sewing needle on board.
"Very well" she said to Jobsworth "but if you take my needle I want you to take the brooch from that lady's jacket over there, and the belt buckle from that man over there etc...."
Jobsworth got into a huddle with fellow J'worths, mutter mutter, and they passed her through without taking her needle away from her.
