I had to remove my earrings (little dangling 1" gold sticks fashionable a few years ago) and my pendant - a 1" gold disc) and mail it to myself because he said that they could be used as weapons....

What's next? Please remove your bra as you might try and hijack the plane with the 5mm hook closure on your bra?
