we too are on the damn list....actually to be precise, Mr Pookie is on the list. He attracts them every flipping visit......last week it was for a large bunch of keys. Last year.......beggers belief really......We had bought, last minute, one of those lovely big jars of honey with nuts, and rather than put it in the suitcase, which we normally do, put it in the hand luggage (I Know, Stupid !). So we get to the search man and were told to remove it.....' Eat now !' he demanded ! Well we like the stuff but a whole jar in five minutes between the two of us ? So as we couldn't eat it, it was unceremoniously removed, we had our names logged in the naughty book and the jar was thrown in a rubbish bin two feet away from us. So we walked five steps, into duty free and had to purchase another one..... we could still see the original jar waving at us from the flipping rubbish bin !
