    So I'm getting on the plane and going through security with the wife and we get through when she notices that her boarding pass is my connecting flight's boarding pass. They never looked at the name on the boarding pass, just initialed it. It brought back memories of how by boss got a 5" knife through security in his carry on right after 9/11 and we're all still paying $10 a ticket for security theater. I just wish they'd hand out popcorn or something since we have all bought tickets every time we fly.

      It didn't quite seem like backroom material, but could get pretty testing between people here. I could see a flame war cropping up.

            Why you need a hostess uniform to do this, they will open the door anyway? Or just for style? :-D

              Purely because I always fancied those little hats they wear. :-\

                  I doubt much else of the outfit would fit me really. I was thinking more of the average asian terrorist build, you know, 5 ft 6, 10 stone.

                      I once had to do some system updates at one of the UK's highest security prisons (IRA and Palestinian terrorists, serial killers etc). I remembered when I arrived that I had a Swiss Army knife in my suit pocket, so took it out and left it in the car. I then entered the prison and went through an airport style security desk - x-ray machine for my briefcase, metal detector arch, hand held metal detector wand and a patdown for me. It was only when I got into the admin office and opened my briefcase that I realised I had a stationery pouch with me - stapler, scissors, Stanley Knifr (box-cutter) etc. Obviously nobody was watching the screen as the bag went through! A year or two earlier, several IRA prisoners broke out, shooting a guard with a pistol that had been smuggled in by a visitor!
