I was eating in an airport cafe in Sydney with a plastic knife and fork because I was told it was to stop passengers taking metal knives and forks onto planes. When I got onto my plane and the meal arrived, they gave me metal knives and forks.

I had to hand over nail clippers at Canberra airport which opened no more than an eighth of an inch and they could do no harm to anyone no matter how you may try. A fellow passenger went through the same security man with a pair of scizzors that could do someone serious damage (though still not hi-jack a plane full of people).

I also went through the airport "security" system in every major Australian and New Zealand airport with metal in my pocket and never once did the alarm sound.

It's a farce and has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with control and creating the mentality of subservience to authority.
