I don't look or behave like a terrorist (at least I hope I don't), but I have to put up with endless buggeration - when booking, when at the airport and when flying. All in response to (let's not forget) muslim extremist/terrorist actions. I hate it - but I want to fly - so I grit my teeth, smile sweetly and get on with it. I think the crucial thing here is "Their Plane,...

And she was the Vice-President (or whatever) of the airline!
I'm afraid the definition of "discrimination" now includes taking offence where none is intented, implied or given.
Depends how long the flight is.

If it's an hour....fine, open the can. If it's 13 hours then I'd like to open my can as and when I feel like it.
What's really stupid about it is you can bring your own cans on.

Well now , let me see .
Bazile : Flight Attendant - can i have a tin of pop please ?
Flight attendant : Certainly sir - here is your opened tin of pop opened - and dont forget that if you are going to use it to hit that bloke next to you over the head , please empty the contents before you hit him over the head
I came back off holiday recently. Put my bags through the scanner thingy. 3 Maltese men searching my bags asking if I had any liquids. No, I didn't....

Given the all clear, repacked my bags, and got a nudge from OH, he had a bottle of coke in his bag, they'd searched the wrong bag!!!

Well, you amaze me, ummmm. I thought they'd stopped people taking shampoo, etc. since that 'chemical' bomb scare. And yet you're allowed to carry cans of, what is ostensibly, pop on board. The world's gone mad.
You can buy stuff in departures once you've gone through the checks.

I see, very good.
> I'm afraid the definition of "discrimination" now includes taking offence where none is intented, implied or given.

If you're as sober as a judge, drinking soft drinks, and are told you can't be served an unopened can because you might use it as a weapon, while right next to you somebody who is drinking alcohol is served an unopened can, then I don't know how else to take that other than discrimination. You are being clearly told you look like a threat, even compared to somebody who is drinking alcohol.

Say what?

Ellipses, for the thousandth time, she started prevaricating before the other person had a can.
That's even worse!

I give up. The world's gone stark, raving mad.
talbot - i assumed 'say what ' is supposed to be 'so what '

Well , your answer seemed to be implying that the reason you gave to my question , should have been obvious to me .
I am therefore pointing out that one can hit someone with the can with the same resultant effect , whether the can is opened or not .
Bazile

I suggest you do an experiment.

Closed full can , raise arm - bop willing friend on head.


Opened can , raise arm , most of liquid empties (over you mostly, so shut eyes) , bop willing friend on head - tensile strength and weight gone from can.

Ask friend how he is.
Mamyalynne .

Can I suggest you also do an experiment ?

Closed full can , raise arm - bop willing friend on head.


Opened can , put palm of hand over ring pull opening ( liquid remains inside ) , raise arm , bop willing friend on head .

Ask friend if the impact he felt was any different between the two
No thank you.


The whole premise is silly, including my suggestion.

I apologise to the OP for the digression from the main topic.
I take it you see my point made to Talbot
Not really no - also I have wasted too much time re-enacting trying to bop an imaginary person sat next to me on the head with a can whilst keeping the other hand firmly atop the said can.

I have now drunk the pop and have the burps.
